Pics can only do so much. When you see it in person is where it really counts.

Lighter wheels will not make any difference in power..... 30 lbs less rolling resistance is nothing..... Also,,, those of you that are going bigger then 18's... 19's and up are bad for performance but good for the bling\crusing factor...... I hope you all understand that the bigger the wheel, it'll hurt acceleration, braking and cornering... 99% of people that go big on wheels do it for cruis'n... and as long as that's your only reason for bigger wheels... great..... Bigger wheels = more length to make one full revolution thereby your 0-60mph time of 6.1 sec stock in a SS\SC will now become 6.7 sec with 19" wheels braking distances will be longer, not shorter and cornering will suffer... So that's it... Expect a slower car, with really big wheels... it's simple math.

...and he completely forgot about the plus 1 method where you can go to a bigger rim and tire with basicly the same circumference of your rolling stock. Not everyone goes for the bling/cruise factor. I have the performance and looks to back up my choice in rims and tires. On top of that, I can still choose to cruise.

U want your old rims back? I'll sell them to you. They look just like they did when you sold them to me. PM me if you want them back. Here's the thread.
