You guys are forgetting something here,Comptechs test car has 18 inch wheels ! 18x8 front & 18x9 back ,how do you expect to get good 0-60 times ?

good point...
i assume that the wheels were chosen to be lightweight, but they could cause some difference in performance. i would expect an improvement, but you could be right- performance might actually suffer depending on the weight of the wheels...
