Ok this might belong in talk, but I wanted to know if buying 17" bullitts for my car is going to negatively affect performance. I was going to go with 10.5" deep dish in the rear. I figure that should probably improve performance because of the added traction, but I've heard that the bullitts are a lot heavier than the stock 16" rims i have now, plus the bigger diameter might hurt as well. Does anyone know about this? I want better looking rims, but i dont want to be slower because of it, im slow enough as it is. If the bullitts are a bad choice, are there any good looking 17" rims that wont hurt performance?

Just get them! Unless you are racing all the time, I would rather have my car look alot better, and sacrifice some ponies. I got mine, they look good.

Get 15" Welds (or Centerlines, Bogarts, etc) and have the best of both looks and performance.
