yeah, but the difference in gas/throttle is so minuscule you wouldn't really notice, unless you go with some 24" rims with 10 lbs of chrome each...dawg!

But the real difference you will notice is handling! You would be able to take those interstate on ramps about 10 mph quicker, and stop shorter. I see 3.0i X5's with 4.6is wheels often at the dealer, and they just handle soo much better than the narrow 17's. But it is a bit rougher over bumps... but wortht it to me.

You think professional is expensive, just wait until you pay for amateur.

Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.
