Wheel sizes

RE: Wheel sizes
Its going to be more than that for a set of 19's, and if they weigh the 28lbs (21lbs for fat fives), your looking close to 1sec increase. The stocks 17" 6 spokes are already that much. Add in a heavier tire with more weight further from the center and your adding a great deal of rotating mass.

alright, then..here's another angle..instead of adding weight to the fat fives, how about taking it away..a lot of it..15" racing rims-10lbs apiece..take 45 lbs off the wheels alone, and then what would happen. I'm guessing a pretty damn big difference, but would 15" rims just look ridiculous enough to where it wouldn't be worth the gain?

LOL...I didwhen I found out how stupid the effect on performance is...now I think the perfect match for perfomance are lightweight 17x8..15lbs and the ability to put a little wider tire on. I've seen lw 19's @20lbsfromOZ, Enkei, and SSR,but I love the idea of 15lb wheels!
