Immediately I notice a considerable increase in acceleration. Something to do with the weight of the rims and the inertia or torque required to spin the rears, not the laiden weight.
I've kept the 16's on for a while. When I'm driving I cant tell what the car looks like lol

That's true. I've noticed that when I moved from 17 inchers to 18s, the acceleration was slower a bit from the larger rims. I just can't bear to go back to 17s just because of the look though.
