from 18-19
I have two questions,
If going from 18-19, would my speedo be off at all?
I have the stock 35th anniversary wheels that weigh in at 19-20lbs I think. I want to go with Volk SF Challenges that are like 19lbs, right?
Would I experience any loss of power? thanks

- No. Not if you maintain the same tire diameter.

- Power loss? No. You still have the same power at the wheels. What you may notice is decreased acceleration. The weight of the wheel is further from the center. It takes more energy to turn a 19 inch wheel than a 18 inch wheel.

I have the same car and chose the same wheels. You're good to go. Just choose the proper wheel sizes. I have 245/35 and 275/30.

more like 25-28 pounds. Those things are heavy one piece cast wheels. the challenges are probably around the same maybe a little lighter.

Ok guys wanted to give you a lil info.
Most 2 piece wheels are forged barrel and cast face either welded or bolted.
Now with that being said. The CE28N and RPF1 are one of the lightest wheels out there. A Lightweight 2 piece wheel would be an Circlar Rs which is press forged. But either way it is SUPER RARE to find a 2 piece lightweight wheel to be lighter than a 1 piece wheel.
also with a 245/35 and a 275/30 you are running similar overall diamter tires but it does mess with the stock tcs a bit
