Had the heavy wheels before. City driving only. God they looked sexy (missing them much). Also found out that grip-wise they were so solid, rubust, sticky to the pavement, no bouncing, excellent rebound coming from the M30 sport kit etc etc. Loveeed the wheels 
I've since chg to ultra light wheels and I feel my car wheely'ing almost. Also kinda feel funny on bumpy roads lol Not cool. Not mentioning having to put the world at risk while I'm doing left/rights to avoid cracking them in one of those dark streety holes :/
Wheels are light & fast yea yea yea, but they suxX100. I want my heavy wheel back |
Sounds like you need a stickier tire. While a heavier wheel may give you the perception of more grip, it'll will remind you that it isn't when the guy in the identical car beats you into and through the turn on a lighter wheel/stickier tire.
And unless it's a forged wheel, more weight makes the wheel far more likely to split/crack/bend on crappy roads. If the wheel cracks, the tire can go down, shred the tire wall and you just spent a nice chunk of change to replace a wheel and a tire.
