help please 17" or 18"

Ahah.

You buy rims that make you slower, then you try to say you're faster than comparable cars on regular rims? Sounds like your ego got boosted while racing some poor ass drivers.

And you know, I don't need big rims to compensate for my small... um, car.

I'am trying to think if yesterdays 6 drivers are all that bad .. hmm seems imposible.

anyways

Here's the deal with 18's You can launch at 4,000 rpm and the wheels spin is just minimum The grip gets down easy and you don't waste any time while 14's and 15's are screaming and getting no grip

And back to the topic

I'll go with 17's because its just better for daily driving and potholes
Yesterday I saw it while having some fun with a Yaris Liftback and a Echo.

Part of it is because there is more rubber in contact with the road. The other part is that there is more rotating mass (metal is denser than rubber) with 18s so more horsepower is used to spin the wheels into motion.

That is the most funniest thing I've ever heard. Sure. maybe you might not wheel spin, whilst at the same time give hell to the clutch but once the 14" and 15" equipped cars get traction.. which is very easy to do by modulating the power, it's bye bye.

And we haven't even talked about the handling.

All show, no go, too slow.
