Do aluminum hubs really save any weight? Any idea on how much if so? They look the be WAY thicker than stockers so the weight would seem to be the same even though they're aluminum.....

I don't know what the actual weight difference is but i'm sure it's considerable. I belive the most important weight savings is less 'rotational mass' the motor has to move.

Someone else will have to go into detail about that...

I never thought about that, plus the front hubs would make the unsprung weight lighter making a bit of suspension performance. If anyone knows a range of how much lighter they are please lmk!
