Losing the wheel weight (performance question)

If I change my 16" steel to 16" SSR-COMP and lose 7.5 pound on each wheel, will I feel a significant improvement on acceleration?

Someone said that losing the wheel weight really doesn't help to improve acceleration.

PS : Is ssr-c realiable? stronger than honda steel wheel?

here is quote from Unorthodox Racing, Unorthodox Racing produces lightweight pulleys and flywheels.


Weight loss is the most critical factor in making, or more accurately, relesing Horsepower! Each pound of weight taken off the engines rotating assembly is worth approximately 2.7HP and the figure increases dramatically with forced induction, nitrous, VTEC and increased RPM's.

as far of relaibility; forged alloy is very strong.
during impact alloy will not react same way as steel. under severe impact steel rim will bend, but forged alloy will crack.
it will take more force to damage forged alloy then steel rim.

SSR-C 16" has only offset of 4*100 ( Ibeileve)
is this ok for 7th gen v6?

i mean 4x100?
4x100 is bolt pattern, and its not for your car, its for VW/Audi.
you need 5x114.3mm or 5x4.5" bolt pattern.
and you should also try to find rims that have +45mm offset (plus/minus 2mm)
