OP OP sunny2539 Member Joined Nov 30, 2005 Messages 235 Points 60 Location London Feb 16, 2006 #8 so 16s are stil heavy?
C chrisunoman Prominent member Joined Mar 26, 2004 Messages 3,134 Points 532 Location Manchester Feb 16, 2006 #9 Heavier than 15s but not as heavy as 17s. If you get alloy wheels like compomotive, ats, speedline, etc. then your performance wont be affected by the bigger alloys.

Click to expand... the performance is affected more by the rolling diameter of the wheel than the weight...
