My wheel dreams crushed or, how heavy is too heavy?

if you do mostly city driving, heavy wheels will adversely affect your mileage, unless you drive with a light touch on the throttle

if you do a lot of highway, heavy wheels will likely be nicer as they'll hold your momentum, but keep in mind that your braking distances will be a bit longer

33OH has big heavy-ass 18's, but theyre great for cruising

i wouldnt worry about potholes so much for the wheels sake...theyll be sturdy

my personal experience is driving my car with 14" steelies and crandalls car with 17lb 17's. i noticed a huge difference in acceleration and braking (was slower to go and stop with the 17's)
