19inch vs. 20inch wheels
Anyone know the pros and cons if I upgrade to 20" wheels? Besides from the weight difference, will performance be that much affected? What about positive camber problem? Thanks.

It may not be so much the difference in the wheel weight....but check out the tires. Too heavy for performance. If all you want is looks...go ahead.

You're also sacrificing performance.. personally I want to go with 19's.. I have 20's right now and I love them. I was also planning on getting 18's for track wheels but that means i'm going to be spending too much money on my car.. 2 sets of wheels and i'm not going to be going to track much. It's just a waste. Performance of 19's isn't going to get much better than stock (19's setup).. 20's you're going to be sacrificing even more performance.. personally for performance.. I would go with 18's.. but you sacrifice looks. 19's dumped looks gangster all in it's own anyways.. 20's are just a "bling factor" mod. Camber does need slight adjustments depending on the setup in it's entirety.
i have 19s right now and im upgrading to 20s, once i sell them.... anybody interested in some 19in ruff racing 280;s chrome wheels? email me for pics Latinpapichulox8@aol.com $1,550 with tires!!
speaking of sizes...this is my first week driving with 19's....and i just realized that my MPG is less....at 1/2 tank i only got about 100miles on them...
is that normal or am I just driving too aggressively?

^^when I first put my 19s on my mpg also went down. After I resetted the ecu it started to slow get better. Now I'm at 300 miles per full tank compared to 200-230ish when I first put the wheels on. I can't confirm that resetting the ecu really did anything though.
interesting...is that a combination of city and hwy? i commute 80 miles a day from SF to Hayward...mostly all freeway...!!!
