Phate is an unknown quantity at this point
That's one thing I've always thought is something a lot of people miss out on. If your going to fit different wheels get a set of Prorace 1.2's or something, they weigh less, are just as strong, and due to weighing less will improve handling and acceleration. You get people they fit these 'wicked sick innit' wheels to their cars and it really affects their performance and they don't realise they've done it and start tinkering with the car elsewhere...




Sorry, mini rant there lol.

thats good advice, so many folk spend money on breathing mods for more power and then go and stick bigger wheels on, which instantly negates all the gain from the breathing mods.
