ASTERiSK, those don't look bad at all. Now did u ever ride on a greater size set of wheels? If so, how'd it feel when on 17's as opposed to the others?

Well I did try my brother's JP Scaras and BBS LM's that are both 19s. If you ask me 19's are ideal for the SC, 18s are a bit more practical though. If you could only get 18s then that's fine, but I think everyone should aim for 19s.

...but what about the "butt dyno" ?
Did you feel better acceleration (on 17's)?

I haven't really driven with 19s yet, anyway bigger wheels aren't really practical unless you get sport ones like Volk/BBS/SSR etc. I'm just getting 19s for looks, pretty much the reason I slammed my car in the first place

That's pretty much where Im at.
I mean, Im not 18 anymore, so Im not doin' illegal sh--, and trying to top my car out over 140 on the turnpike, like I used to.
Nowadays, I still care about performance, and I want my upgrades to count for something, yet Im primarily looking for a nice whip. That said, Im currently trying to pull the most out of my BPU vehicle as I can, before moving onto bigger things like boost, etc. So acceleration is more important to me than top-speed, 'cus Im never really gonna reach the top-speed, however I will seek the thrill of an open throttle on occasion, y'know, without gettin' "too" crazy...

Your car can be fast and nice lol, just don't bother slamming it. It can be low and still functional though.

He had no choice but to make fun of my pic!
That's so childish ... You may as well have said "unh... nice sneakers".
Im also willing to bet Im 100x better looking than you, 'cus the only people who make "that" very comment, like "nice shirtless pic", are guys who can't take good shirtless pics.
So they make fun of us guys who a can. What else, can you say??
Believe me, you're not the first who's come at me with that one bro, nice try
Im not even that shirtless, it's not like Im showin' off my abs or anything.
I just happen to be shirtless in that one pic; it's pretty much my face only haha.
Lastly, since Im done with you already (I don't even know why you're still at it), that example was neither elementary, nor text book. Show me a text book with an explanation the way I gave it

Sorry I had to show you wassup.
Smaller wheels make a difference, even if ya disagree.

you guys... why cant we have a simple conversation about a concept or "theory"? I didnt mean to contribute to any of this negatively. Ill just simplify what i said and say yes i felt a large difference from 19s going to 17s. yeesh

Simply put, "quicker" and "faster".
No, they are not the same thing.
