2014 GTA Meets

zefaulter · 02-06-2014, 10:51 PM

Just did some price check on tirerack and size comparing websites. to keep the size close to stock, you need 275/40/18. Per tire that size, you can save only $10-$20(for PSS that's $60 per tire). just saying, I wouldn't do it just to save that much

i didnt get 18s for the tire savings. im going to be slaying tires all day anyway

i mainly went with it for the weight savings. i went with an 11 inch rear width. even at that width they're 17.5 lbs each. i went nuts after holding one in my hand, i couldn't believe it.

does this mean you will be tracking the car since you are looking at saving weight?

when I get wheels I am thinking of going with 20's. but I do not plan on anything competitive for the car track day wise, would just be for fun and to legally speed/drive really fast!

Yes. I'm just arguing the price point. weight reduction/performance gain side of it is something I would like to know about though. I hear 18" you lose some traction but not noticeable.

kinda yes. its a bit more involved than that but yes.
with any kind of racing making the car lighter helps it in almost all respects
better braking
faster acceleration
better handling
most of the fun of driving occurs between 60 and 200 anyways.

im either going to go with a really high attack angle wing or 2pc rotors next.
