Serious? I felt no difference. What type of wheels you on NewZland? Wheel weight matters. Brakes are a tad bit weaker now and off the line slight difference, not enough to bug me at all. Car still bones out, but Im not totally stock.

My car is faster and performs much better.


(But that's probably because I got rid of the Sh.itenzas and got some Maxx Sports!)

Mine doesn't really feel any different. It probably has something to do with dropping 11lbs off of each front wheel/tire and 10lbs off of each rear.

At first, My 19's seemed really heavy. Acceleration and braking lost its bite! But as I drove my car about 500 miles, it felt like its back to normal again. I think I just got used to it or the tires had to break in (TOYO T1R). Either way these wheels arent light weight like the TE37's or LE28's. The only thing that these wheels have are bling-age! I get compliments everyday, but I also get stares from the wrong people too
