change the wheels from your stepwagon to your E60 and end the torture

i mean a people carrier's wheels are bigger than your's, plus you looked a fool
with the "Captain of the E60" label at our last meet, people were saying
"who's that guy with the ferrari shirt and shoes and 16inch wheels? is he a joker with a daydream?"

boys this might do it, surely he can't take any more
+++ some oil to make him change his wheels

rotating mass is approx. x4 of static mass, so 1 lb saved on the wheel would be like 4 lbs saved overall...

not much but you could definatelly feel the acceleration improvement on cars with less HP ... ie the Golf GTI i had..

In terms of handling... i highly doubt the improvement would be dramatic as all masses saved are well below the centre of gravity of the car...should helps in brake but again, don't think it will be dramatic...
