I admit if all you did was load up the car on a truck and just go from car show to car show, then it would be cool to have 20's cause of the insane lip and so on. But if your gonna be "raceing" or trying to make your car fast, why put 20s on it? What u gonna be rolling around, see a race, be like! Hold on! Stay here! I gotta go switch out my wheels!!
I can understand the old mans arguement, of its just his daily driver, hes not tryn to make it fast, he has another fast car to speed in.. But what about you.. Iam looking at your mod list, seems to me like your trying to put on almost every bolt on. Hrmmm so trying make your car fast while putting on 20s....
Oh and since your such an idiot to read my post, and even quote from it... Let me say it again.. I PAY FOR MY OWN MODS. Not mommy or daddy, and only reason you bring that up is cause your 29 and have the same car as a 17year old haha. Dont hate cause your jealous. And i will have my volks whenever they get in, month or 2... Black SF Challenges 19' 8.5 and 9.5
I personally think this is a little big for raceing as well, but atleast i dont have to worry about being as heavy as 20s...

Since you old guys cant respect my opinion, and cant act up to your age and actually be the mature one, considering you older ones should be the mature one. I will end this, so you can get back to looking at your wheels. I stated my opinion, you didnt like it, o well, no right or wrong answer.

Most people that do go with 20's are not concerned about performance and if you were so concerned yourself about performance you wouldn’t be going with 19's.....you should be looking for lightweight 17's or 18's

Like i said i know 19s are a lil too heavy. But i want looks and performance, and 19s can give that... If i was going all performance i would go 18s...
But my point is, naturally9 is tryn to go performance and looks.. while 20s... Thats what i stated.
Lol your right if i wouldnt of even posted at the begining this thread would have been dead... damn.. what did i do.
Oh and if u notice, i was willing to drop it, and was basically over with.. tll the old man came in and started talking **** and started it up again..

And even with a simple $600 mod, i can make my shifting .5-1sec faster then a 6MT, and more power to the wheels.

($5000 +/-). stock internals, full weight (3600lbs w/ driver), a/c, power steering, stereo. nothing wrong w/ auto sports cars. if you want to get really technical, marko's mk4 supra (from chicago) went 8.6. he's fully built, w/ turbo 400, full weight, full cage. and yes, he's the quickest full weight supra in the world.. and he's auto! actually, i dont know of many cars in the world, period, that weight 3600lbs, w/ driver, that go mid 8s (auto or manual).
don't worry ... you didn't burst anyones bubble. We are talking about SPORTS cars here ... not straight line drag cars.
This argument is about someone calling out large diameter/heavy wheels as homosexual and said-owners getting defensive to the fact that their wheels were called gay ... ironically by an owner/recipient of a "mortal sin of sports cars" slushbox 350Z.
thanks for the drag racing info ... but it really doesn't matter here.
ps - I know many a fox body mustangs that run 8s all day with an auto .. who cares?

Here's the difference, kid: You park your car in the driveway (if you're lucky) and go in your parents house to your bedroom and get ready for school the next day. Grown men, on the other hand, come home and park their Z in the garage of their own house, then take their girlfriend/wife into the bedroom and.......oh, nevermind, the adults know what I'm talking about!!

Yes please.
If you don't like 20's, perhaps don't click on threads titled " 20" wheel thread ".
And why are 20's a show mod? I drive them everyday, they look way better, and I only lost 3hp, wow...
