    It depends what size tyres you have. Of course bigger wheels usually are heavier and slows you down. Bigger issue is outer diameter of the tyres and of course width. Smaller diameter gives you better acceleration and bigger higher top speed.

    BIG is not always better mate.. I had 17's on my GT which I changed for 15's and the car felt alot better.. Bigger wheels will slow you down..

    Also the coupe 20vt alloys weigh more than your average 16" alloy.
