I read that unless you increase the weight towards the outer edges of the wheels/tires it doesn't have a great effect on that "rotational mass" mumbo jumbo.. Sorry I'm not trying to be ignorant but I don't remember word for word what i read.. It was a test where they switched from 14's or 15's to 17's and saw a 3% loss in HP of course that's goin up 2" so I would assume going up an inch would be roughly a 1.5% loss in HP depending on the wheel style and weight..

19" Alufelgen SF71s on KW V2 Coilovers
18" Forgestar CF5s on H&R Sport Springs Personally, I like the look of the 19" waay better, but the 18s offer better performance on the track. If you don't track and have good roads where you live, I would go with the 19s. I'm in the Orlando area if you ever want to check them out in person. |

I think I like YOUR dark gunmetal better than the Titanium Gunmetal I have, especially on a white car like yours.

There's not much to look at in the sidewall of a tire - unless you're thinking of putting whitewalls on your e which would be quite interesting.

Not too big at all. Just personal preference.
