Induction wheels vs aftermarket 20"?

[doslir]

Hi,
Just a thought since I am seeing that induction wheels are very efficient even with high weight. I believe it is close to 32lb each wheel. Is it safe to assume that induction wheels are more efficient than most other aftermarket wheels with same diameter? There are tons of cast alluminum options with lower weight.

How are you obtaining the efficiency numbers for the various options?

From my own experience, different tires on the same wheels make a big difference. Also, I believe wind resistance of the wheels is a big driver of the wheels’ overall efficiency.

You can find aftermarket induction wheels, that could be lighter, possibly cheaper.

FWIW, you should consider a 18" or 19" rim (if available) since the ride will be more comfortable and your 0 to 60 could improve as well.
