[QUOTE="rakuen, post: 334504, member: 509"] [CENTER][TABLE][TR][TD] Faisal, thanks for the explanation. Once more question... I have heard alot of people downgrade from 16" rims to 15" rims and they claim they their car accelerate faster and more responsive. And some of them claim that a GTi with 15" rims can touch 235km/h. Do u supposed the readings on the speedometer is not accurate anymore due to the smaller rim size? [/b][/quote] initial, yes, it is definitely more responsive.. helps acceleration too. but your speedo will be quite highly inaccurate. i'm running 15s right now, and when my speedometer shows 120km/h i'm actually going about 100km/h only.
