I just got some new rims that weigh about 5 lbs heavier than the stock rims each. How much will my 1/4 go down by?

I think I read somewhere that 100lbs is about .1 Seconds. I could be wrong on the equation though. About .02 Seconds or so. If you got better tires, you may decrease the time though!1997 Chevrolet Camaro v6 - 13.8@104MPH

The formula is a basice quesstameta but 100 lbs, or 10 HP is good for .10 th in the quarter. That is pretty close until you get down in the 12-13 sec range.I have made a lot of money in my life, most of which I spent on cars and women.<p>The rest I have blown.Comment

the 100lbs rule refers to loose weight in the car. for every 10 lbs of rotational mass it is thought to account for .1
so a total of 20 extra pounds amounts to .2
now, that is just the rims, are you using the same tires? or is this rim larger in diameter/width? if you are moving from a 16 to 17 inch rim then you also need to weigh the tires. my 17" rims are only 1/2 a pound heavier each compared to my stock 16s, BUT, the tires each weigh about 12 pounds more, which amounted to about a 50lb weight difference. Last week I was running 15.5 on my 17's, switched to 16's and ran 15.0Comment
