I just got my 20" black Foose Nitrous put on yesterday. I can't stop looking at them... lol.

it won't make it slower, it may make your car not as quick out of the hole if you go to a larger diameter tire/wheel combo. But if you go to bigger rims then you'll go to a lower profile tire to make up the difference. Bigger wheels can be heavier which may affect your braking and your ride. But weigh your old set, and then weigh a new wheel/tire combo and see how much difference there is, probably not a whole lot. If the difference is large, like over 10-15 pounds per wheel you'll want to look at some shocks with more compression and rebound to control how fast that wheel reacts to bumps. A heavier wheel/tire combo is all unsprung weight, so it can affect your braking and handling.

I'm sold...

Yeaahh, definitely sold on the black Foose Nitrous wheels. *nods* And lowering it. Now if I can just get it aligned right with the stock suspension I'll be happy. *headwallheadwall* I refer you to my Mustang from H3ll post in the tech section.
