Default 20 Inch Wheels.

They look great, and im glad to have them.But now, i have a guy telling me that it makes no difference to the performane of the car, im thinking they have to slow me down one way or another... what do you guys think?

They do slow you down. I could tell after changing from my factory 17's to 20's. Car felt sluggish compared to stock.

Yes you will lose a very small amount of power and it will take a bit longer to brake.

You certainly will not lose A lot as some think. The difference in weight between set of 18's and 20's is probably 20 pounds figure roughly 5 lbs per wheel. maybe a bit more.

Nothing a CAI+Tune and a gear swap can't fix plus add some.

Not sure what 20's you guys are all using, but mine only weigh 26lbs a peice which is lighter than the DD bullits I had.
