Default Ford Racing 18" wheels

Hey guys, i just upgraded my wheels to the Ford Racing 18" wheels. I LOVE the way the car looks, and cant wait to put some wider tires on, but has anyone else noticed some sluggish starting and loss of low end?

Well if you are coming from 16/17 inch wheels you are adding some more weight, but not a ton like you would with 20s

What tire sizes are on those fanblades?
Overall diameter the same as what you took off?
Taller tires equals less low end torque.
Not enough specs and details to diagnose the problem.
