um i thought bigger wheels were better for racing... either way if you're gonna race, might as well just get slicks

Bigger wheels are worse for accleration, heavier and the weight is spread out towards the outside of the wheel so it takes much more energy to get them rolling. I have 18's on my 01GSR and noticed a real big difference mainly in the bottom half of 1st gear, once the car is rolling though you don't notice as much!!
