The bigger (and wider)the wheel the more unsprung weight and more importantly, is something called Moment of Inertia, even if a larger wheel is lighter overall it is where the weight is concentrated that is also imporrtant. This will lead to slower acceleration, negative affects on handling, increased fuel consumption....I agree that 18's are properbly overkill, but I think 17s while they look good and that is a valid consideration to some, are also overrated.
IF Performance is a critera you consider important, use a wheel that is as light as you can without sacricing srength, and don't go bigger unless you have a really good reason, e.g. Brake clearanceLast edited by Desmo; 10-10-2008, 10:38 AM.08 Octavia vRS Manual|DNA Stage 2 Tune|Golf R Intercooler|APR DP|Carbino Intake|Uprated DV|Porsche Calipers (NQSBBK)|Superpro Alloy front control arms and bushes|42DD Stealth Catch Can and PCV|42DD Shift Bushes|Whiteline adjustable rear sway|Superpro torque arm bush| Front and rear lower strut braces|Whitline steering rack bush|
