And I agree with this statement. If you drive slow everyone can see you much longer, especially the ladies!

very nice, love the side scoops.
My car runs pretty close to the same ET's (NA) with my 17x10's as it does with my big and little w/ slicks and skinnies... nut I'm sure the tire height on the slicks is killing my NA times.

On differant days my car feels slow...for whatever reason today my car felt abnormally slow.

The differance between 17s and 18s cant be but a couple at each corner at most...even if it was a good sized differance, a tenth or two shouldnt be all that noticable.

I think its more in your head than anything

So you went with staggered sizes huh??? I would have just stuck to 17's all the way around. They would have been lighter and look more uniform.

you underestimate the harm of unsprung weight/rotational weight is for performance.

Yep. For that reason I'm seriously considering losing the 18s. Well, that and the price of tires....

I won't go 18's because of the weight. My BBS's are much lighter than stock and wider. I still want a lighter wheel like an RPF1 but I don't want the look of them.
