$500 for shit that likes to shatter vs. $1500 for a good set of wheels that will last :dunno: but seriously cutting off like 3lbs per wheel is not going to make that much of difference when you are rolling around full interior, rocking the a/c, go with what ever you can get the best tire selection for, and I know 17’s have a shit load better selection than 15’s ---

Full interior isn’t rotating mass either, and A/C is for fags. Looking at another picture I found though, I may highly consider a set of 16 x 7’s. Here is another slipstream 15 x 7 with a 235/60/15 street slick on it. It looks really bad at stock height, not sure how much better it would look on my car… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/DuckManParkey/100_2160.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/1/1/1173cf8206f58f39c8f73ecb12cc1ec64a37c967.jpeg) ---

I hope you start a trend, wheels should be just big enough to clear the brakes, anything more slows you down. ![http://www.vistawallpaper.com/data/media/11/FerrariF1.jpg](http://www.vistawallpaper.com/data/media/11/FerrariF1.jpg) ---

> [@neonglh](#): > > Its cutting 5+ lb per corner, and thats just wheel weight, then you have to look at tire weight. Full interior isn’t rotating mass either, and A/C is for fags. vs and aftermarket 17? Fuck that is less than 4lbs per whee compared to most 19x10’s compared to the 15" rota and (talking about a potenza RE-01R) a 225/45/R17 is 26lbs, a 225/50/R16 is 27lbs per tire, just for compairason a 255/35/R18 is 27lbs per tire. less tire less sidewall less weight EDIT: even adding 1" to the moment arm is not going to change much, get the wheels with the best tire selection ---

mark you say you don’t care about looks, stop being a pussy and just get the 15’s! on the other hand, whats the 15" tire weigh vs. the 16"? I have no idea but I would think that a 16, having less sidewall material, would weigh less. ---

> [@66impalass](#): > > $500 for shit that likes to shatter I’m looking for a shread of proof behind that. I’ve seen a hell of a lot of high power imports running Rota’s with no problems. Hell I saw a car go 10.4 with a 1.6 60’? On Rotas… Go 15’s mark, it looks mean. 15x8 255’s all around. I can show you as many photos of shattered BBS or Kinesis wheels as you can show me rotas.
