do 19"s really negativly impact track performance. i'm really picky about what goes onto my car and refuse to trade performance for bling...but dan's got a great deal on those LUFFs rite now that seem just too good to pass up.

Those LUFFs are pretty nice looking (look like mine), but they are not the lightest on earth, either. For comparison, buinbro's Volks, which were not your cup of tea, are like 17lbs and 19lbs. Vivid is quoting 25lbs and 26lbs. I think the Carerra 5 spokes are low 20s. The Turbo Looks and GT3 wheels I believe are 30ish. Hollow spokes are similar to LUFFs. If I recall, the CCWs were low-mid 20s depending on specifics. That's something to consider on the performance-bling spectrum. Tires will also likely have a bigger impact on performance than wheel changes.
