That said, smaller wheels will definitely be an advantage. I give them .1 sec on 0-60 though, not .5
I was thinking of following Nismo's example and going with 9.5 and 10.5 width. Do you think they'll do those widths and appropriate offsets in that wheel? (my guess is no).
And thanks all for the comments about bending. I'm coming out of MR2-land, so I haven't had wheels this large to deal with. AW11 owners are experts at conserving rotational momentum (I've got ultralight 15s!)
