    if you don't want to know how fast you're going and don't mind hurting your accleration, braking, and gas mileage then by all means . . . knock yourself out.

      so how much of a loss in acceleration are we talking.

        it's difficult to say, because I don't how much heavier those wheels are than stock. but the larger overall diameter (including the tire) means that it well be reduced even more. when you add heavier wheels, you add rotating unspring mass (basically the worst kind you can get), suffice it to say that it will be noticeable.

        btw, braking is important too, ya know.

            not too bad but heavier than stock, and pair that with the increase in overall diameter, you'll feel a bit sluggish.

                no, I also see that you have no interest in being able to slow your car down . . .
