"By upgrading to a light weight one piece forged wheel, I eliminated nearly 100 lbs. of unsprung weight/rotational mass from my vehicle."

Would really like to see the math on that. My stock OEM 17" fronts weigh 19.5 lbs, rears weigh 21.5 for a total wheel weight of 82lbs. In order to lose 100lbs with lightweight new aftermarket wheels they would have to be made of pure hydrogen.
