Who can explain the differenece between moving weight and stationary weights?

Nuts, rims, tyres, hubs and etc are considered to be moving weight(I think there is a specific name for it)

Anyway for example, wheel weighs 16kg with tyres but if compared, its value is much more than what it should be. I heard something like four times of its value.

Can someone explain better?

I want to know how much 40g x 5 x 4 can make difference :)

I think we call it "unsprung mass" here in Sweden.

I can't really explain in a good way about the weight thing.
But weight on the "rotating mass" has more impact on performance compared to the same weight on the actuall car.

The engine has to work more to turn the wheels.

someone else might want to explain better as my technical english isn't the best.
not really sure ho to explain it in Swedish either :wack:
