Rimzzzz!!!

very nice brakes, can't wait to see pics of them on the car.

The bigger the diameter the longer it has to take to and the more power it needs to complete that revolution in the same time as if it was a 16" tyre. So the tyre takes longer to move and thats where the power loss comes from only slightly though.

If you choose the right tyres, the diameter will remain very similar. I went up two inches and my effective gearing has changed less than 1%.

If a car no longer pops wheelies, it's probably because the new wheels are heavier and the new tyres are stickier.

That's pretty damn massive in a Mk3! And yeah, they would look good framed on a wall or somethin'

Very nice Alex, when you get your wheels bring'em over and we'll fit them at mine.

Loon, know what i mean, they'll be due for a down right good testing and i'd be glad to test'em for you Alex lol! Iknow just the right place. And there shouldn't be blue disc situation this time round.

Tread is what makes the car stick to the ground make sure you get something good... Perhaps continentals or Michelins?
