I have the oem 19s chrome on my car currently and want to move on to the iforged aeros in 20x10 rear 20x9.5 front, will i notice power loss due to added weight? or will the new shoes be lighter being that they are multiple piece rims, if anyone knows the particular weight of this wheel?

 

Multipiece rims will always be heavier. Depending on the weight it'll be that much of a diff vs your 19 inchers. The main this is the weight of the rims themselves + the tires. wider tires = more power loss, unless you need the horsepower to put the power down, or added handling. I doubt it'll be too much powerloss, but there always will be some.

 

multi piece adds weight? i always thought it cut down weight.

 

ive had some 20" iforge rims on my stock 05 6mt (oem 19's) and it did slow my car down...after that experience i dont ever want to get after market rims unless its light weight racing rims

 

great pick on wheels......def get them, you might notice, or you might not.......either way i doubt your racing a lot and those wheels look so sick so its worth the trade off

 

What color is your car?
Pics of the chromes please.

 

There aren't any 20" wheels that are lighter than the oem 19s. The oem 19s are light for a forged wheel. The wider 20" tires you'll need to get will also weigh more than the skinny 19s; also they'll have more power loss due to more traction.

 

How does putting larger wheels lose power????? It only makes to car go slower. It has nothing to do with your "power"

 

my car is laser red

as for losing power, i didnt mean lose engine put out power, i meant as a whole in the power i notice.

 

^acceleration you mean. Doesnt multi piece make it lighter??

 

thats what i thought

 

all things being equal for a specific size wheel, a forged single piece will be lighter then a forged multi-piece. Multi-piece wheels add in more weight due to additional flanges, bolts/rivets, welding..... The benefit you get from a multi-piece is in the variation of application sizes and offsets.

 

Its actually the difference in gearing that most people experience and assume its the wheels slowing their car down. Larger wheels yield a theoretically taller final drive ratio, which makes for softer acceleration aand a higher top speed.

This is case whether a wheel weighs 10 lbs or 100lbs

 

That is so wrong. Everyone usually gets wheels + tires that have the same outside diameter which means the same gearing.

Heavier wheels = increased rotational mass = decreased acceleration.
