it still takes power to spin the bigger wheel one whole rotation vs. the smaller wheel.

I ahd 17's on my sol for a while. With Yok A520's, I could spin the wheels a little. Throw the stock wheels back on and I could just sit and burn... There's a drastic difference... If you're looking for speed/acceleration, I wouldn't go any bigger than a 16...

with the subzeros i'll be losing two pounds a wheel i though that would be more important than the size difference and i need at least a 17 so that i can put big brakes on the front and rear

i think it has to do with weight more... if they are the exact same rolling diameter as your stock then you shouldn't see any drop in power. now spinning of tires also have to deal with your tread footprint... wider tires = more rubber to burn

Kumho's are extreamly heavy. The wheels may not be all that heavy for a 17 but the whole mix of it all is gonna make you sluggish. I have 17in ADR Trama wrapped in Parada and I have probs accelerating
