Spare tire and all that junk maybe weighs 60 pounds. On a great day that equals 6HP but probably less. Unsprung weight has a greater effect. So lighter wheels or rotors will have as much as 10 times that. So 4 pounds saved on wheel weight will equal 4HP where 40 pounds of sprung weight will also equal 4HP.

I think that is accurate. Either way, it sounds good.

I noticed a decent difference. mostly in traction and unsprung weight.
