17" Ftl

Swapped my 17's back on for the summer...damn I hate the ride! I know most of you would blame the eibach/illumina set at 2 all around, but it rode great on the sawblades/winters. I know these wheels weigh about 10lbs more than the sawblades & I can feel every bit when I drive. I've got the tire pressure @ 33f/32r. I guess some blame can be laid on the cheap Kumho ecsta AST, I just wish I could afford lighter rims

Sprint/Illumina, 5/5, Volk 17", 35f/30r, It's not much better. Karim's right...when I had 15" on, ride improved a lot.

So why not get a thicker tire?

Heavy wheel + small sidewalls = bad ride. Sell the wheels and get a taller tire a lighter wheel.
