Buddy, I believe his intentions are cruising, not racing. For that, he's alright. By the way, did you check out Car and Drivers' test on the new Viper ?...Fast !

20's are fine for cruising. I don't think the customer would be tracking, otherwise he would have bought a coupe..

I agree.

Slap on some OE Bridgestone S02's, Michelin Pilot Sport Rib's, or Continental Sport Contact 2's and see the difference

P-zero's are a pretty crappy tire.

Let me re-phrase that P-zero's CAN be a pretty crappy tire. Depends which ones since there are so many varriations of the P-zero

Rock,

Yeah the OP is probably just cruising my beef was with this statement by fastoc996twint:

"I have 19's in front and 20's in the back.. 03 x50.. car handles 10x better than stock 18's. and looks 10x better just mho."

Then he posted this:

"sounds lke your the clueless one my friend.. have you ever installed 19/20's on your tt? i didnt think so.. i wouldnt comment on something i have no knowledge of is i was you"

This car was designed for 18's and handles 10 x better to use fastoc's terms than 19's and 20's. Bring it to the track with that junk and we will see what handles better.

19's and 20's are fine for cruising and looking cool but they will NEVER outperform 18's.

Yes you are correct you are entitled to your opinion but there is a difference between facts and opinions. The facts are that 19 and 20 inch wheels will not outhandle the 18 inchers.

But if you want to believe that they do you go on.

And I was not *****in I was stating the facts. Bend over and I will show you where I will shove it!

you can keep your sexual preferences to yourself.... im not sure anyone elles on here wants to know what you do on your spare time......i personally dont swing that way.. but thats just me.
as far as 19/20's vs stock 18's goes..... id like to see facts! not opinions... has anyone done this comparo? maybe measured by g's?? something documented? that would be the true test.. otherwise just an opinion like many others.

First off I was shoving your clueless opinion up your ****, so apparently you are the one swinging the wrong way.

Second take a minute to really hear and understand my next statement. Porsche Motorsports the ones that developed and built the 996 GT3 RSR use 18 inch wheels and tires on their race car. Do you really think if 19 and 20's handled better on the 996 that Porsche Motorsports, with more race victories than any other company, wouldn't use them?

Think before you respond and realize it is ok to be wrong. I am wrong about alot of things but not on this issue.
