I have just filled my tyres with helium. This actually reduced the mass of the vehicle.I cant wait to run it down the strip with my new mod. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80406-stripping-paint-off-wheels-and-performance-gains-noticed/page/2/#findComment-1246389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 10m 20d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 31/05/12 05:42 AM Share Posted 31/05/12 05:42 AM I also like to run 5 locknuts on each wheel as they're approximately 0.005 grams lighter per nut...Only downside is... To keep weight down I have to leave lock but keys at home... And if I broke down, my wife would have to drive out and deliver if I needed to change a tyre :-( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80406-stripping-paint-off-wheels-and-performance-gains-noticed/page/2/#findComment-1246391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
