You want an 11" wheel.

That means you need a bigger tire to fit it; Bigger tires cost more money.

Bigger tires also mean you have bigger power; power isn't cheap.

Which means your logic doesn't compute.

Appreciate the support guys. Obviously for those of us who have owned an S chassis for any length of time (read more than a few years) we invest time to modify and do things the right way, which takes time and money. When you agree to a budget with your wife say, it takes even more time to set aside the money. I agree that modifications are a luxury and not a right, but some folks just can't afford $3-4000 wheel/tire setups. I think the tire selection is ultimately more important as they are the sole point of contact with the road.

Not interested in stirring the pot, especially with those other members who have been around the community a long time such as myself, and I do agree there are times when genuine is a better choice than "replica" or "knock-off."

I'd like to know the build quality, weight, and composition of XXR wheels to make a final decision before just writing them off.
