Thinking of going to 18s. Will car essentially be slower from the bigger wheels?

I'm with Adam, it is all about unsprung and rotational weight. I put some heavy 19s on my C55 and noticed the difference immediately. The car felt a bit slower to respond off-idle and low RPMs and a bit heavier in steering, too. Overall, less nimble, not that a C55 is the most nimble car to begin with.

Good luck in your decision.

I say go the other way and go get some magnesium 16's with super light tires. You could have a sweet 30 LB per wheel and tire combo. lol

LOL, someone else told me that 16s would prob. make car marginally faster because of less rolling resistance. And they would look good on the car too.
