15" vs 17" wheels

wow! they look great. The 17" are a little heavier aren't they. Thus harder on the bracking and slower on the acceleration?

How do I get privledge of posting pics here. I can only post links?

None of that is true. The car still excels the same and I haven't noticed any difference in braking

Yes same Genius Darwin's all the same width on all 4 corners - just different tire sizes so they fit both front and back. I took this recommendation off a suppliers web site that gaurentied that they would fit.

you for sure got bit by the bug and it sounds like you will have a good time with your car just make sure you let us all see the end result, we always enjoy seeing what people do to their cars to make them personal and one of a kind....

I Googled and found the website in the results. There is not an error in the link posted here. Even following the link from the Google results returns a page not found error. Their site is down. Temporarily most likely.
