Do it! Do it! Do it!

Grunt, grunt, grunt!

:-)

All of the great iconoclasts met resistance as they re-shaped our expectations. Wheels are a simply bolt-on so it's not like you're going to carve the car up for a science project.

When my mighty little 2.7 outruns 3.2s and 996s I know that part of my acceleration is coming from the extremely low profile 16" tires I've put on my Fuchs. If someone has a better wheel I'll try it, and you may very well have achieved this feat.

Even if they prove heavier and can't enhance unsprung weight; those are some beautiful wheels that will give your car a unique zeal that will give you great pleasure and inspire many onlookers to make bolder choices in their lives. Like the Asian butterfly whose wings somehow add to the strength of a distant future hurricane, every innovation we share has an important affect on others.

LaughaC you are a man after my own heart. And part of me just wants to be reckless and change the car just for the hell of it - I can always put it back.
