What you rollin on?

[hookedup240]

I got 18's anyone got 18's or bigger otherwise you can't touch me

[Takumi]

Well, you can't touch the people with the 17's or smaller since your damned heavy ass 18's are weighing you down! &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Hey what about those of us are rollin 11 inch low rider style.

[tnord]

iirc.....taking 1lb of unsprung rotational mass (wheels/rotars) off of the car is effectively like removing 6lbs from the body. this means that my 15lb (estimate) kosei's are effectively 90lbs lighter than your 30lb (another estimate) 18's. i hope you like the sweet smell of high octane fuel, because that's all you'll be smelling when i blow past you. &nbsp; <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

who cares? <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> Check my response in the show or go poll.

That's an opinion anyway...not fact. Let's see pics. <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Well for acceleration 1lb of rotational mass is the same as less than 2 lb of body mass, depending on how close to the edge of the wheel it is.

[tnord]

hey duff........where did you get your info, i'm just asking cause i got mine from a SCC issue a few months back, and i have a hard time believing they were that innacurate. or i just misinterpreted the information.

[Takumi]

I guess bigger rims are needed to fullfill one's lack of *ahem*. You know what they say about people with big rims......

I think you misrepresented the information. Maybe they were talking about flywheel mass or mass in terms of handling.

A point on the outside of your tire has the same rotational speed as the car's linear speed. So it's weight counts double, once because it's part of the car, and has inertia like the rest of the car, and once more because of it's rotational inertia. Of course rims aren't on the edge of the tire so, they are less than 2lb for every 1 lb.

[boosteds14]

still stock. i spent so much on the motor, i am too &nbsp;cheap to buy rimshttp://208.178.140.192/neforum/yabb/YaBBImages//smilies/burnout.gif

[misnomer]

15 Baby. It's not the size that counts, it's how you use it <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

[Broadwayblues]

There is something to be said for stock wheels with nissan wheel covers! SEXY <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[guidot]

I'm rolling on some hardcore 15" 1985 Z wheels...they ROCK!! &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'> &nbsp;anyways, I'm powdercoating them sometime which will be sweet...

[240zx]

993 porsche C4 wheels. 17x9 out back and 17x7.5 in the front

[moi87T]

i got 16s, but they 0wn j00 cuz they're covered in brake dust! &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

[adey]

Haha.. I'm rolling on 4 stock steelies, but that will soon be 2 volk racing silhouettes in front and 2 stock steelies out back. ><img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;all on 205 901s.

[blairellis]

I have 17's <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'> , 15's are just too small for me... it leaves too much tire, I like the low profile look, besides my stock rims sucked!!!...Just my opinion

[Black240sx]

18's for me!
