Changing To Winter Mode
I've had 20' on my cars for the past 7 years and Im pretty fed up with the whole ordeal. Having to constantly watch out for dips, pot-holes,etc,****ty ride comfort. And no matter how careful you are, **** still happens. Also having to drop a min. of $300 on a tire every two or three month is getting ridiculous.The car is 10 days shy from being a year old with 27,000 miles. Im keeping the stock wheels on for the winter and Ive already noticed that cops dont pay attention to my car anymore Which is great cause it definetly attracted too much attention with the old rims.

Id be willingto bet it is faster now, it looks great , I like it more because it really makes it stealth. Your car was always more go than show to me! Your car looks great both ways but performance is definately compromised on the low profile 20"s, there is not enough sidewall. LOOKS fantastic SAM
It rides so much more comfortable now as well.
