hey guys, I was just wondering, how much difference would you feel between using stock 15 inch rims and 17 inch rims (not chrome or lightweight performance) such as the adr gt sports? Anybody who switched from stocks to 17 inchers, please tell me what difference you felt (how much slower). Also, anybody with track experience, what is the difference in quarter mile from stock 15 inchers and 17 inchers? Anybody with input please........uh.. input? haha!
 yeah, well thanks! (sorry if this is stupid question)
