Everyone does eventually once they feel the difference in power, and braking. A 20" lightweight wheel provides a great balance between appearance and performance. Plus, 20" wheels have drag radial tire options, and that alone makes it worth it. Without a doubt, 22's look so damn badass, but they don't grip for anything, and with power mods, you'll just end up ice skating around the pavement, and that's the last thing you want if you actually want to feel the performance from your car.

You'll love it once you feel the difference. It'll freak you out and you'll never turn back, lol. You could easily sell yours and get 20" shoes for probably nothing out of pocket, or very little at least.

It's an incurable disease, and the antidote doesn't exist, so don't fight it. LOL

It all depends upon the style AND which ones will be lightweight. A long time ago, I chose mine because they are absolutely ridiculously light, are rotary forged to make this possible, and don't cost an arm and a leg. However, some other light ones in a good price category are some Forgestar wheels. Look around, make sure the wheel company provides the weight, and check within a specific price range to narrow it down.

Those look to be the F14's. They are a great prices wheel for the weight they are and they look bitchin. To save you some dough, contact Akviking (Carter) because he has a gift certificate for 50% off Forgestar rims from ModBargains. He's only asking about $100-150 for it from what I remember. That will save you TONS of money on the switch, and you make actually make money off of selling your current rims and buying new ones with this gift certificate. Contact him ASAP.

You can thank me later, haha.
