Default weight of wheels

Ok sad as i am i went and weighed a jconcepts rear wheel and a proline rear wheel. The jc one weighed 17 grams. The proline 21 grams.
Does this make any difference to the way the car handles? Like rotating mass or something?

Ben

Yeh, the weight of the wheels makes a difference. So, try cutting all the spikes off the tyres, cut the ribs off the inside, don't use glue and drill holes in your inserts. Proper dialled.
