geez, how much we sacrifice just for looks...

i'm currently rockin 20" vs-xx with aggressive offset, stretch tires, yada yada yada.
for an upcoming long road trip, i switched em out for some OEM 19's...

man what a difference lol!

i mean, the car feels much lighter now and accelerates faster!

i'd say there's about a 4 to 5 lb difference per corner... i even felt it as i was mounting the OEMs.

my OEMs are all curbed up with fat tires and hella un-flush.
it looks like shi.t but drives much better

Haha true, but if I wanted a track car I wouldn't have gotten a G!

....^....This is a perfect example why I would never go with 20" wheels and "Stretch Tires!" I can jump in my coupe as she sits and drive from coast to coast tonight and never change a thing but my AMSOIL when I return. The look of aggressive offsets wheels/tires towed in at the top looks OK but it's impractical as hell!
