    Anybody with rim's...please read

    For those of you that went with 16in or 17in rims. If you went with a lighter bigger rim did you feel your car moving more sluggish, or does it feel the same as stock?...thanks

    17" OZ Supeleggera with 215/40/17 parada spec-2.

    2-4 lb lighter than stock .... accelarate better, handles better in corner, a bit weird with the tires, sometimes pull to the right or left, I think this is due to the pattern.

    I went from totally bald stockers to some nice 225/50/15 on some 10.7lb wheels

    I feel a LOT quicker now - no wheelspin from simply punching the gas. :D

    10.8 lbs 15s and it feels quicker. The car starts moving sooner when you let off the clutch (normal, not just launching). Turning is easier. Good tires doesnt hurt either.
