Rims and acceleration
19"X8.5", 19"x9.5", offset 38, and 5X112 Bolt Pattern.
Will these rims fit on a c32 and about how much slower would they make the car compared to the stock rims?

For every lb. of weight going up 1'' in size expect to loose about 0.5 to 0.7 HP at the wheels.

Is this for each wheel.
ie if the original wheel/tyre combo weighs in at 40lbs each, and the new ones 50lb each, would the difference in RWHP be 10X(0.5 to 0.7) or 20X(0.5 to 0.7)?
Thanks
