ok the other day i was in the "bad part of my town" where the only junk yard/car part place is and i come to this light and this "brother" in a older Monte carlo pulls up with his radio blasting and his bass going to where i can feel the vibrations from inside my car...... he's got big *** like 22" rims on it .... i'm in my little accent minding my business listening to "the longest time by me first and the gimme gimmes" he looks over at me and revs..... so i look at him and he does the whole rev-car jerks forward-revs.... so i get ready.... light turns green and i punch it...... you hear his car full throttled i blow him away...... i guess it does matter how much you car weights cause like by 1/4 mile i had him by atleast 10 car lengths maybe more

Reminds me...I was in Oceanside (California) yesterday and right in front of this army surpluss store was this Chevy from Georgia, I **** you not this thing had 24" chrome rims on it. What a dump. Poor guy must be a major tool to think THAT was a pimped out ride.

You got to love the 305 HO (180hp) in a almost 4,000lb car.

most tool thinks bigger wheel the faster the car will go.

In theory it could go faster with larger wheels. Changes the overall gear ratio, but acceleration will suck. Thats to say that car has enough power to push through more air than it did with the smaller tires

u mean rotational mass?

the wheels are a giant set of iron flywheels?

OK, how about both, but that was totally unrelated to what I was talking about. Change the diameter of the tire you change the ratio between how many times the engine is spinning vs. the tires in 5th gear.

one revolution of a larger diameter is a longer distance than one revolution of a smaller diameter. 15in wheels go x number of feet in one revolution. 30in wheels go 2x feet in same number of revolutions and rpms.
