^^ I was just at caranddriver.com a few minutes ago and noticed that the article is now posted on their website. I edited my post above to ad the link in case anyone wants to check it out.

What the heck - may as well post it here, too: http://www.caranddriver.com/features/10q1/effects_of_upsized_wheels_and_tires_tested-tech_dept

Weight is a well known fact for going too big with wheels.  I have seen some Honda's with teeny engines make a dozen (or more) less HP just because of big wheels/big brakes.
How fast is my Supra?  I sh*t on Cessnas from a roll....

Sweet, now I'll know if it's you behind the wheel if I see a grey GTI around town. Just check the wheels!  ;D

Make sure you say hi.

I've been wanting to get a close look at a BMW 1 series now I'll know someone so I don't feel like a tool asking to have a ride in some stangers car.

Definitely! A trade for a GTI run would only seem fair ;D
