Got my 20s on...
So you have quantifiable data to back up those statements? I mean other than the data you yourself have observed from media such as the television/magazines and what not? Have you gone and done a survey? Has the government? Has anyone? The shoe/rim manufacturers? Basically your making that comment (just as the original one may/may not have been made) on your own personal observations which might be very well wrong.
I said the fact that I don't wear Keds disproves nothing. I don't have to have any facts to make that statement. The truth is that the fact I don't wear Keds disproves nothing just like the fact you don't do this to your car disproves nothing.
Perceived realities are every bit as much real as ones proven by fact. It is not possible to phsycially determine if a certain racial group prefers these types of rims just as it is not possible to determine if the majority of Keds owners are white. The point is that it's commonly accepted as fact based off the overhwelming number of occurences, and it doesn't matter if one person doesn't participate in the stereotypical behavior.
And every pound of additional rotating mass is equivalent to 8lbs of added weight to the car itself. On top of that, a 20" diameter rim pushes most of that mass far away from the hub, which further decreases performance and potentially damages the diffs.
I'm not indicating that your car will be slow (not a great decision), I'm just saying having all that weight is not helping. 20" is a big lift, which means alot of air under that car, which means lift, also means slows car down. Just having wheels, heavy as those, you have to spend more to make it faster... Just remember I'm not bashing on your car or the style, just giving you some feedback that might help. "every 100lbs. = .10 of second".
I'm more interested in the mathematical evidence for these figures than statistical evidence supporting racial stereotypes. I remember studying rotational kinematics, and raw conversion factors like this never appeared. Seems like an old husbands tale to me.

I can't say that websites are the best resources, but I'm pretty sure you can hit a local library and find out what stereotype falls into. "knowing is half the battle!"
ohh crap now the asain dudes are gonna jump me now

Holy cow!
How did you put 18's on an RS you are a god, most people have a hard time fitting them. That car was hot looking.
It looks like most people on this forum were waiting for somebody to put 20s on an evo, just so they could e-thug them.
As you can tell by the posts here most of the people on the forum are real racecar drivers that know what should be put on an evo. Their cars are for the track and they know 20's would hurt performance, most people would not know that, but here on evom we, sorry they, know that. thank god.
It's hard out here for pimp.

I was hoping to find the weight of the rims here... yep they are 4 grand without tires. WHAT A WASTE!
