what???? its ~.1 seconds for every 100 pounds and the better traction and launch you can get on a wide tire counteracts the weight. IMO 18 is to big 17 by 10.5 would be my choice out back and 17x7-8 up front

yeah they look good

Also 17" is a good rim size, but 18" is fine too.

How am i wrong you ass hat! this is basic physics, but you are obviously to IGNORANT to understand that. ANY unnecessary rotating weight is bad. Why do you think aluminum driveshafts are good? cause it removes unnecessary rotating weight. You think think 10.5 inch rim with a huge tire on it is gonna be light???? Think about the weight of the wheel + the weight of the tire + the weight of the air to inflate that tire. Easy 25+ lbs per wheel. Now you are using MORE POWER just to spin you fucking tires. Yur a jackass warlord. Unless you need to get ALOT of hp to the ground, then anything more than a 17x8 or 17x9 is overkill. Anything larger than 17s are more for looks on a V6 than beneficial as far as traction is concerned. You dont need 10.5 wide rims to put than 140 RWHP to the ground. If you want looks than get them.....but as far as performance goes....you are hurting yourself.
