so im going to get 18' rims for my celi, and i told on of my friends...he has a acura integra, and he thinks its godly. anyway he was telling me that 18's are gonna make my car really slow and that i wont get good handling.......somehow i think hes wrong, it might slow me down a tad.....but i dont think that much.....any thoughts??
