Default 19 inch vs stock wheels n tires

so ive noticed a big diffrence since i had to put on my stock rims and tires.... my car actually peels out now lol... i know it was from all the grip the 19's got... and im faster now too... theres a straight away by my house that noone ever drives on... i usually top out at 90 mph before having to stop this morning i topped out at almost 100 before having to stop... AND not only does it peel out on 1st... but 2nd and 3rd chirp too lol...

this is amazing...

BUT... does this mean my handling will suffer from the loss of grip???

i did loose handling....

but turning was ok not that bad... it just screeched alot lol...

and yea the 19"s weight alot and i mean ALOT more than the stock rims...

i do have to say though... im wayy faster now....

i have to decide... looks.... vs ... speed....

im gonna have to go with looks on this one... the car looks way better with the 19s....

You gained weight and you're faster. How does that work?

more inertia w/ aftermarket rims deceive the owner in thinking its fast - old proverb
