Re: Mazda wheels

The overall outside tire diameter increases from 19" to 20" (tires still don't rub on the fenders), so it's like
driving with a slight overdrive in each gear, e.g.: zero to sixty mph acceleration goes from a neck-snapping time of 20
seconds to just a nosebleed time of 23 seconds. But the big plus is that instead of driving 75 mph constantly at redline
on the freeway, now I can go the same speed at 500 rpm less.
That, and they look way cool- getting a bunch of thumbs up from the cars that pass me and a dropped jaw or two from the
cars I pass.
