So to beat the old horse to death you like 17" better than 16" or 18"

Having driven on 16, 17 and 18' AMG Aero's and the 18's IMHO are too much
wheel which won't allow the suspension to do what it Needs to do when
asked.. +2 from stock has been found on a multitude of makes to be the best
all around compromise.
When I weighed an 18 X 8 AMG it came in w/ rubber @ 54lbs, the 17 was around
42 and change.

The difference between 16" and 18" wheels and tires is 7.8LBS each. That
would make a big difference?

Kelly,
The 18" feel like too much wheel... too heavy, I have some really wide ones
on the back that are so close tolerance that I am afraid when I buy new
rubber which I need soon, that they may rub.
Eddie: Thanks but I will pass on yours
