Default Rims...

Who makes the lightest rim for a Grizzly. I was told for every poud saved in rim weight, its like adding 10 horsepower to your machine is this true?

I don't think so, but I heard that its something like every pound on a rim is like 30lbs or soemthing around there are on car or truck. Since its rotating mass which weights more. So its probably less in a quad.

Lighter rims will free up hp, but not anything close to that ratio. The less unsprung weight the better, for handling too. I'm not sure what the stock grizzly wheels are so I cant say if the c-series aluminum are lighter or not.
