Should I put these rims on my car...

liv4him · 07-23-2006, 05:13 AM

I bought these off I guy around town they were on his 03 Cobra. 9's in the front and 10's in the back. I know its going to look sweet because I love the way chrome wheels look on white cars but these things weight a ton. I dont drag race so thats not a problem but at the same time Im not into slowing down my car. So I guess my ? is do you think I will feel this slow me down in the seat of my pants?

Why would you buy em if you arent going to use them. Thats a pretty simple answer to your question, right?

remember that you're subtracting the weight of your current rims and then adding the weight of these. So in reality, unless they weigh a few hundred pounds, you won't notice a difference.

Remember too that your car weighs over 3000 pounds so rims that even weigh 100 or 200 lbs arent going to affect performance that much, if at all.

Generally speaking 100 pounds accounts for a gain or loss of 1/10 a second in the quarter mile.

Ok....all I have to do is save some $ for tires. Hey Matt I bought them because I could'nt pass up the deal I got, $200 for all 4.

*Lances03SVT* · 07-23-2006, 03:00 PM

$200 is a great deal.

liv4him · 07-23-2006, 04:28 PM

I cant wait to get them on. Im leaving for vacation in 2 weeks so Ive been saving all my money for that. I was thinking of selling my wheels to get new tires but I guess that would be kind of stuppid.

Slither · 07-23-2006, 04:30 PM

What rims are you rolling right now?

Mustang2002 · 07-23-2006, 06:13 PM

and generally speaking, nobody can tell a difference in a car that runs 13.9 or 14.0. especially on the street in a DD
