Wow, my first post.

I am the original owner of my 97 and just reached 89k. I'm getting bored with the stock 16'' wheels and am always trying to go a little faster.

I want to upgrade rim size but not add any dead wheel weight. Any ideas? Of course I want to maintain the same overall size but want more rim and less tire with less weight. Man am I lost.

My priorities are
1. Speed
2. Performance
3. Looks

Are there any 18 or 20'' wheels out there that won't add any weight? If so, what rim/tire sizes would work for me? Does anyone know how much the stock 16'' rim/tire is? Any info is a big help. Thanks!

Check out Centerlines wheels. They are forged and very light. They are also a good value. They claim their forged 20's weigh less than most OEM 17's.
