Any input on this, or perhaps which ones I should go for? Also, Any advantages to this switch other than appearance? Thanks in advance  |
the newest motor trend had a big article on going up in rim sizes and how it affets your car... id look into it, its the issue with the mercedes and gto on the cover...
basically they talk about increasing the unsprung mass of your vehicle ets... 16 to 18 is a minor jump, they were comparing 18 to 26's and such... it shoulnt affect your car too much, but be warned, handleing will be different... make sure the overall profile of your wheel/tire combe dosent change in size or ytour speedo will be off...
