    Thanks for that pic, how cool! That is the look I am going for - modern retro!

    Easy there brutha, I just meant it was still going strong, sheesh, talk bout taking something the wrong way, lol!

    That totally makes sense and was kinda what I was thinking, seems like all the tire co's think that when you have 20" wheels you have an SUV! lol! (besides, this explanation is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Mr. Pocket Protector's "gyroscopic effect" one, lol ... sorry Dave, lmao!)

    Improved braking is another benefit. To put it in more results oriented terms. YOU could have broken into the 12's if you had been running 18" wheels.

    Ouch, thanks Dave, lol (I'm gonna get into the 12s, I AM!). Actually THAT I understand, a smaller diameter wheel/tire will have almost the same effect as lowering the rear gear ratio.
