IMO I liked the stock wheels a lot more. Again my own thoughts though. Each person has their own taste in what they want. If you don’t mine, what difference is this making for the car besides looks? Curious, not bashing.

If you LOOK at the last picture you will see that the wheels are fitted with “RACEMASTER” tires.

According to this the largest wheel diameter of Racemasters is 18" :

Since stock wheels are 20" diameter a change would have been required:

But that is just me using logic.

My logic is that you are a dick and just cant fill someone in properly. Instead you think everyone knows about tire sizes and everything that goes on with these cars, hence why I asked the question of why. But you must have a dick up your ass or this is your lover and you need to come to the defense when I say I don’t care for the rim choice.

But thank you for informing me with a dick response. Again, just my logic of thinking.

Why, because every post I make uses facts?

I didn’t know. I LOOKED at the pictures that were posted. I READ the sidewall of the tire. I SEARCHED what I read.

They might be smaller but i get they weigh a bit less too. Which is always good. Sometimes it really is Factor over Fourm.

Besides the fact they look a little small, I’m sure the weight savings is substantial, not to mention a tire with more sidewall

No, because of your delivery. You come off as a pompous asshole in all of your posts.

I won’t get in to it any more than that, but I’ll restate what I said: I find you extremely annoying.

This is what I figured was going to be the reason, but was curious. I wasn’t sure what the weights would be of the stock rims and tires. Figured with the 20" the rims would weigh a hefty amount. Performance over looks obviously is a big thing that not many people do these days.

This, I would have no problem with someone filling me in on something I don’t know or have the time to research about… but do it with the means of informing, not the means of being a dick.

Even saving 5/6 pounds a corner is a lot. Curious what a old wheel and tire weighed compared to the new! Hopefully 4g63girl will chime in.
