question about rim weight and performance..

you guys think the 19 inch legends and 235/35/19 tires will kill my acceleration and performace vs the stock 17's? i have a 06 tl 6-speed..

Chances are you will suffer some loss in acceleration.... but it all designs on the wheel how much.

Weight is the enemy

RonJons aren't heavy compared to many other wheels. They are great wheels IMHO.

Even Volk 2 piece wheels are only a pound or 2 lighter, you can always buy a tire

that weighs less. Tires differ in weight by up to 5 pounds. FACT !
