"yes yes we all know that heavier wheels slow down your car. But he asked for what looks good. "

I didnt mean toimplyekjl ought to go with some ugly lightweight rim...just to use his head when making a choice...sorry. If you want to go ahead and buy some 30 pound 19" rims, go ahead...youre the one looking for advice. Its clear that you have no taste and no brains. too bad! So Stick it, riceboy! Better hurry, Blockbuster is about to close, and youve had their copy of "the Fast and the Furious" for two weeks now...:fawk: :fawk:

In addition, the stock 14" wheels weigh about 15.5 lbs (93 gsr rims) and my wheels are 16" and weigh 17.5 lbs each."

True, but remember, when those wheels are SPINNING, that weight grows exponentialy. 1 pound at 0 mph translates to many more pounds of force the engine must work against at higher speeds...
