Has anyone noticed a performance decrease with 18 or 19" rims? I know its logical to have that happen but if it's not too noticeable I can live with it lol

I have went from 15 inch wheels to 17 inch lorinsers to my current setup, 18 inch monoblocks, and I can say that going from 17 to 18 inch, you do notice a slightly stiffer ride due to the decreased sidewall thickness. Going from 15 to 17 inch I didn't notice a drastic change in ride quality, but I can imagine that 19s would be a little too much for our 202 if you have ride quality in mind.

Power from the engine will always be the same even if you've modified your wheel set up. The fact is that those power will be distributed to heavier wheels will mostly
affect your performance. That's why it's always good to choose lighter wheels to reduce HP loss.

I would think those rims weigh close? They say their lightweight I just don't know what they weigh lol
