Default 17" ZO6 wheels

I have 4 polished alluminum afs ZO6 wheels with brand new tires and I was looking to get 18" ZO6's, but my question is how much slower will it be with 18's?

well find the sticky about wheel weights... and compare the 17's vs. 18's... most likely the 18's are going to be heavier obviously, but im not sure by how much. also, when you get 18's you opt for a smaller sidewall thus reducing traction rather than a 17... if racing is your thing.

Seriously, even if it would slow you down 2 tenths of a second or whatever, you will not feel any bit of difference. The look of the 18's will make up for it many times over.

I highly agree with you! I would love to get 18" zo6's, but tires are too expensive
