i'm really torn between the rota circut 10 ant slipstream. I would get 16" slips 13.5. I want to get the CIRCUT 10 in 17" but i know they weigh alot like 20lbs. i'm not a hardcore racer, but the EP isn't very fast to begin with. Would i feel a big difference in weight? what about with 16" C10s they weigh 16 lbs i think?

Think, if you strapped an extra pound or two to your legs, it would definitly slow you down some. The lighter the better. But, I have 17" tenzos (not on yet) that weigh about 20 lbs and I would imagine I will accelerate about the same as stock. Sorry, I'm not too much help but my tires haven't got here yet so I can't give you a definite answer, just what I've been thinking.

13.5 lb and 20lb in 17" would be a huge difference. Mostly in turning performance. Straightline, you would feel it, if your 'in-tune' with your car.
and whoever said they have a 5lb tire, lol. Did you wrap some rubber bands around that rim?
