So many Escalades are rollin on dubs that they look stock. So if your lookin to buy chrome, do it, but pick the right ones and forget the haters tellin u not to because they never had chrome rims!
:wtf: you talking about? If these people were watching fast and the furious too much they would be putting 20 inch chromies on a mitsubishi. not 15 or 16's on a civic

The loss comes from increasing the moment of inertia on the wheel. The amount of torque necessary to accelerate the wheel is proportional to the moment of inertia. The moment of inertia is actually a horrific integral equation, but it's pretty much proportional to mass of the wheel*radius^2.
So an increase from 15 to 17" diameters results in about a 25% increase in moment of inertia, and an increase of 25% torque to drive it.
