Don't know about those $100 wheels since you didn't mention a brand or anything.

I go back and forth with different wheels and tires depending on what class I enter; DOT or Slicks.

My skinnies and tires are a lot lighter than my stocks.

Plus the the weight transfer is better with skinnies.

I going out on a limb here that you will pick up about a tenth.
