i think your alot like me then. unless your buying the mood dish wheels and the hub web thickness it robust, then your going to have a noticeable weight gain. otherwise, most of the designs available are so sparse and delicate that i don't think it's going to present a problem at all.

i think sinister and qon will be able to give the best feedback as they own shops with dnano racing however for the casual racer like myself, i do not notice any slowdown at all in my dnano however i'm sure if you were a competitive racer you would be able to preceive it.

at this size and cost, i prefer to have wheels i know to be round and true vs. the plastic wheels which can and do deform. that being said, i'm sure its possible to bend the pn wheels provided they take a direct hit at the optimimum angle. the italian wheel spokes are actually quite robust thus i feel more durable.

i'll try to get a picture comparison of my alumatech, pn and italian wheels done.
