This is true. Our 20's are the same weight as the stock wheels and produce 20 whp less.

Part true but the heavier wheel will also have a bigger moment of inertia (harder to get it accelerating) so you will expend more power which translates to a dyno loss

This is the reason trackday guys and race teams will use the lightest and smallest wheels possible, that the brake system allow. Once upon a time, when I had my GT3, the serious guys would spend thousands and thousands on titanium wheel nuts by an italian company NCR and carbon fiber wheels by Oakley. Unsprung mass has the single most major effect on a cars performance in every way, accel, braking, turning, power loss..

Want 6.5% increase torque? Stick with the 18's and go to a lower profile and lighter tire, you will see about the same results as switching out your LSD for a 4.1 at a fraction of the cost! (6MT)

Why upgrade from 575 to a 600 kit?

Andrew, what 18" wheels will clear your new BBK kit for those of us who plan on buying it?

Depends on the size of the brakes you choose.

I was jumping the gun and assuming that the prototype brakes on Blitzkrieg would be released soon

From what I understand, the 575 and the 600 kit share the same injectors, only the tune would have to change. The 625+ kits have upgraded injectors.

No one has mentioned tire differences causing a reduction in dyno results here. Tires with additional siping in them cost power as well. Back when I had my Evo it dropped 15hp switching from Pilot Sports to Conti All Seasons. No changes in equipment, and same day dyno results. I swapped them just for fun, same wheel fitments.
Often times guys and girls swap wheels but also run different tires, which will vary the results as well.

Yeah the diameter and weight of the wheels affect hp. You should buy some 18'' volks and see what happens!!!!
