Reply to "15" Wheel Upgrade!"

While lighter wheels is a great plus the only reason the larger wheels didn't handle correctly is because the shocks were not doing their job with the extra load of a heavier wheel. A correctly tuned shock with larger wheels wille perform as well over rough roads and sporty cornering when setup correctly.

The lighter wheels is a great benefit that helps with the feeling of it being more nimble but you will get some of that feeling back with the larger wheels and a tuned suspension. This is why you can't just throw parts on your car and expect everything to work correctly without making sure the parts selected are correct for the particular situation and adjusted correctly.

Not trying to take anything away from the positive results from going back to the originals. I am very happy they work so well. Just didn't want people to think that going to larger wheels will make their car handle worse. It may if not setup right but a larger wheel will work fine with the right shocks.

Respectfully submitted...
