20" Brabus wheels on ML55...makes car slower??
hey!! my dad owns a 2003 ML55, and the dealership had already put 20" Brabus wheels on it when he bought it.... since these wheels are a lot heavier and taller than the stock AMG wheels, do they make the car slower in acceleration?? thanks!!

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
i have 22's on my 500..and yes, they slow the car down. any larger diameter wheel will affect the low end performance of a car.
