New Wheels...Yes or No

Got these new wheels still debating weather I should put them on. I fear that the car might feel a little slower with these 20" wheels. [/HTML]

Not sure of the weight of the new wheels. I think they might look ok once flush and installed on the car. I was considering painting them black but I will take some pics when I install them hopefully by next week. I am also putting 35% tint on.

Re: unsprung weight, I saved over 20 lbs when I replaced those same 17" OE wheels and RFTs with 19" and Michelin SS Pilots. Surprised me to go up 2" and save weight. Go online to tirerack.com and "view" similar wheels in 20" on your car color. Good luck!
