Power Loss

[markasia]

Hey guys...when i purchased my euro a few months ago, the first mod i did to it was buying 20inch chrome. recently ive purchased some minor engine mods for the car, but was wondering how much of a power loss is it having heavy chrome rims. i was thinking of getting rid of the 20inch and go back to either 19 inch or 18 inch racing rims. but do you guys reckon i should keep the 20s on as its not much of a power loss?

Much help and opinion is much appreciated guys, thankyou!!

keep the 20s if your not planning on racing

Bigger wheels and tyres will mean heavier and causes slower acceleration. My guess 18 inch the max if you dont want to suffer loss of power.

Yeah It Will Be A Waste Of Money Of Getting Rid Of The 20s, Probabli sell it. But If Its Better To Go For Smaller Size Rims As 20inch are too heavy in performance wise.

20's Starr and Flash ride but lil slower

18's still a flash ride more range less to maintain lol softer ride

True True!! I Might Go Back to 18s Then.

You want huge rims but still want power?

My only suggestion is to get lightweight rims like Volk or WedSports etc... But be prepared to shell out lotsa $$$ for it....

With 20", it's a big difference. My 16" stock car is faster than a 20" with I/H/E.

Weigh one of your 20" rims with tyres and report back. We can give you an idea as to how much extra weight above the springs that equates to.

Yeah I See If I Can Weigh One, Or Even If I Search The Weight Of It on The Net. But From What I hear From You Guys, I Think Ill Go Get Some 18"!! lol!!
