Message	If you'd add up the extra cost of fuel due to the 12+ extra pounds per wheel you're now having to turn, you'd realize you could have some snazzy wheels for the money instead of cheap junk wheels that look like cheap junk. If you're only out to impress yourself, you've succeeded. Heavy wheels will severely impede the performance of your Z, and unfortunately for you, you just posted on a forum called TwinTurbo.net, where we actually factor in things like performance. Go figure, huh? A decent set of Rays will set you back $800 or less, with tires. Owning a Z requires a bit of intuition that you seem to lack. Don't ask for "any input" if you don't want any input.
