Weight and tire size are key.<P>Moved to the Suspension forum. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Im curious on how its suspension related, being he asked about performance but thats cool. <P>Basing rim weight on what your aftermarket rims normally weigh, you really dont loose much or gain if any. As far as tire/rim size, Just get rimes/tires that will be the same diameter to stock. You should be just fine<p>[ June 12, 2002: Message edited by: Custommx3 ]

ya rim size and weight does make a big difference...I think it's sport compact or import tuner that doing a huge dyno test next issue to show the difference it makes....rotatng mass is not good.....just get some nice light rota's (slip streams) they weigh like 11 pounds...but what ever just get some light weight 17's if you want the 17's that bad, spend a little more money to get better rims then tenzo r...do alittle research and find the lightest set that you like
