IMHO, far too much hoopla about a few pounds of unspring weight on this forum.
You're going to drop the car on DF210's. What wheel offset and tyre size are you considering? |

15X5 35MM OFFSET

i read somewhere that 1 lbs. of unsprung weight removed from the wheel is equatable to 10 lbs. static weight. so 1 lb. dropped from all wheels would be 40 lbs. removed. I don't think this is very 'scientific' but it is something I ran across from a website; don't take my word for it.
keys to remember are, the wider the tire: more rolling resistance due to more rubber on the road/but better handling in turns due to more grip the larger the rim in diam.+weight: the more rotational force exists-- easier it is to continue going in a straight line/but harder it is for the tire to change directions. grab a bicycle and spin the front tire in the air, then turn the handles and see what I mean. as for rim width, I don't think 6.5 and 7 are much of a difference except extra weight and tire selections...possibly less tire roll, but I doubt that |

np, just some insight I thought about myself-- looking to get new rims too :)
the slipstreams at 6.5 wide are 13 lbs. on some websites...maybe this is a misprint, just wanted to let you know. I keep going back to wanting buddy club p1 qf, expensive though! |

Actually ,it will be only 2 lbs of unsprung weight ,since the Yaris only has 2 wheels connected to the drivetrain . The other two wheels would be static weight .

Don't confuse unsprung weight with rotational inertia. Anything hanging from the suspension when the car is raised is unsprung weight.
