Oh wait, those were the 18"s that wieghed that(or were they the 19s, I know they only came in a couple of sizes,sorry guys got lost in this one
), I don't know how much the 20"s were???
Sorry. Can someone chime in if they know how much they wieghed, I know they are lighter than alot of other 20s.
But who cares the tsw's is a nice looking wheel 2.
For looks I'd lose a few horses anyway.

guys now am 100% sur 20" do hurt performance big time!
we went out me and some of my friends to race in a far away street where there are no cars ..
i started with the BMW 645 coupe ...first ande second he went in front and won by far ...3rd time i went in front till i hit 140 KM/H and the he passed me like a bullet !!!!...I was thinking about it ....and i said i shouldnt race that guy with my friend beside me !!! he was 105Kg which is about 200lb !!!
the second race was with a stock 5 speed mastang 2001 and we started he jumped infront of my 1 car length the when he put it in 4th gear i startid to come in when he put it in 5th i passed like he was slowing down !!!
ok i noticed later hehad no fule ....he was on E (empty)
i had 3 1/4 full 20" rims and a big *** supwoffer ..
so now am gono take the tube sub wofer out .....get on the stockes rims....and keep the 20"s for show only ....and gono race with only 1/4 tank full and am gono see what i can do .. am sure i can eat the stang .......!
i dont know about the 645 that car is fast !

There is a TV show called Sports Car Revolution on Speed Channel. These are the same guys from Dream Car Garage. They upgraded the wheel and brake set up on a stock RSX. I think they went from 16 inch stockers to 17 inch Mugens, a little wider of course. They also added a BBK, I think Stoptech. They did a base dyno run on the stock set up and then a second run after the wheels, brakes and cat back exhaust. They lost over ten horsepower at the wheels because of the greater rotational mass of the wheels and BBK. A 20 inch wheel set up definitely affects straight line performance. The trade off is looks.
