Saving 28 lbs, huh...
Maybe if I ever decide to get rims I'll get the cheap and heavy wheels, then lose a bunch of weight.

Yes it does. Remember when we went up to the wash & wax meet??
not only do the wheel weight matter but you also gotta add the factor of you losing power in order to turn those wheels.... you're not losing power if you were sitting in my car or if i had a bunch of junk in my car...

wheel weight (that needs force to move it) and dead weight like you and i or fenders and stuff is different.... besides my ac/heat was on..

driveline, rotational et al weight loss is far more beneficial than "dead" weight loss.
