I was wondering how much difference it would make as far as take off and top speed is concerned, if i took off my 18'' enkei's and put on the stock 15'' steel rims?
Acceleration and overall mpg will drop sightly, but I'm running 18s and have had no problems rolling at 100 mph+.smalltownscionman said:I was wondering how much difference it would make as far as take off and top speed is concerned, if i took off my 18'' enkei's and put on the stock 15'' steel rims?
it's soo tru...you can feel those cracks and everything....omg...you need to slip on 17's....if u get the xb c-sectioned than the fenders will overlap the wheels..lol...but that's another storyL0sT said:Boils down to the weight of each in my opinion. If the enkei's are lighter than the steelies then stick with them.
I took off the 19's (very heavy) for the winter and put on 15" panther chromies with the stock tires and now I fly and have a smoother ride (only cause i'm riding on air). I may never put the 19's back on. They have so little meat on the tire and I can feel when I roll over a paper cup. LOL Air ride and super low profile dont match well. I'm considering getting 17's. But I will miss lowering the box and having the rim go inside the fender. But performance is more important than style.
Yup, Neo could tell you how rough the ride can be with my set-up... I'll see what I'll do for the summer.neo24 said:it's soo tru...you can feel those cracks and everything....omg...you need to slip on 17's....if u get the xb c-sectioned than the fenders will overlap the wheels..lol...but that's another story
