Am I just SOL?

That unsprung weight is literally at the roll center of the car so the effect on handling is negligible. If that's really the concern get some aluminum 17-18" wheels and 35-40 series tires, way more bang for the buck in reducing unsprung weight in a useful way. Also it'll be a massive improvement in handling and steering feel and response over 15" steel wheels with fat mushy 60-series street cruising radials. I know because I've run both setups lol.

Unsprung weight loss has zero drawbacks. It's still weight I have to accelerate, and it's still a significant part of suspension action.

THEN I bolt on light wheels and have like eight times the fun!

I spoke to Cass at Dr. Diff. He's got an aluminum center in the works. Manufactured in India, but that's still a few steps up from China. At least his current pricing for the parts is reasonable.

I'll hold out for a Mopar center until Cass gets his line going. Either way, **** China.
