first of all this is a performance car not a ghetto lets slap some 20" rims on there with almost no tire. How the hell you think your gonna get traction with less and less tire, 18's come stock on this car and are too big in my opinion. Yea they look nice, but if you want bite from your tires you need to go smaller. 18's would be the extent of my size IMO

I personally would've gone with the 19" version myself, but they look good regardless.

ummm... i dont quite understand your argument... I know you have less rotational mass with smaller and/or lighter wheels and tires, but the less tire argument makes no sense... The width of your tire doesn't change unless you go for a wider or narrower tire. The only thing that really changes when you go up or down in rim size is the sidewall... and in a lot of cases, a smaller, stiffer sidewall actually helps in cornering traction.

These cars are not really meant for drag racing, so a big soft sidewall will help in launching, but not in regular driving (may be worse handling). there shouldn't be too much of a difference in sidewall or launching traction between an 18" or a 19" wheel.
