Wheels and Tires upgrade to 18"

[edevlin]

I like my aftermarket 18" carrera lightweight wheels. They give a wider footprint and with lower sidewalls handle better on hard cornering. But one thing you dont hear about that much is what you loose when you move from a 17" to an 18" wheel. Even with my 18" lightweight wheels, they wiegh more than 17" wheels. I could feel the difference in more sluggish acceleration with the 18" wheels as soon as I put them on. Also, the rubber is more expensive on the 18" tires, just mentioning it as a point of information,
