do you actually drive that thing....out? in public?


ah well, it's alright for a show car but you can get "blingin" wheels that arent so cheap and chrome looking and that fit the car better.

what do you mean it's better top end with larger wheels? top end near redline? then how about NO?

or are you trying to say your car will travel at faster speed than a stock wheel diameter car at same rpm, same gear? True that! But what's so good about it? other than it throws off your speedometer?

It's not the size of wheel that matters, it's weight of the wheels.

And larger wheels are Heavier than smaller wheels. Don't forget that your tires will get heavier too with the larger wheels at same width.

Xenojc - what i ment is with the larger wheels the lower the gears in the diff, so better top end thats all i meant, also they are very light wheels

drivenCSZ: $7k for wheels and tyres aint cheap mate and that is not being ripped off thats what there worth down under

Yeah! but that same 'very light wheels' will be much lighter if they were smaller in dimension also, while keeping same design. That was my 2 cents.

I got you bro! I was just talking about performance wise! Everybody have a different taste on tuning and hell you can do whatever you want to do with your car. I was never trying to offend you. Don't get me wrong, bro!
