i want these rims Konig Daylites which are fairly light and a decent price. now my plan is to get a pair of 15's with DR in the same style (regardless of final rim choice) and have a larger set for the street.
but my question is if i put, say, 19"s on the rear will it take more power to turn it or does it not matter because its really just dragging along for the ride anyways? i know it will stop slower. any experts in the field are more than welcome to enlighten me.



Listen F***ers. FASTERTHANAHONDA is a joke because I WORK FOR HONDA. I'll talk @!#$ about Fords to, that doesn't mean I can beat a 12 second mustang.

if it would stop slower, why wouldnt it have an effect on acceleration?

ANY additional rotating mass and any increase in the distance of the rotating mass from the center of rotation will have an effect on acceleration.



1997 Cavalier Z24 - 16.3 in 1320 and falling...

Since they end up turning just as fast as the front wheels at speed, and your engine has to provide to power to make the car move, then heavy back wheels affect acceleration just as sure as if they were on the front.

well gosh dang darn it. big rims look so darned good on cavs. but i can see the physics nows.
