Who here has Alessio F1's on their 4th gen?

Im looking to buy some Alessio F1's but I need to ask some questions for fellow orgers with this set up on their 4th gen.

Not too sure how much they weigh, but how much of a difference did you notice after putting these on? mileage wise, acceleration wise, braking wise, etc

Also, what size tires did you put on?

I plan on getting these rims in 18s, but I'm not too sure of what tire size to go with.

I believe A_Flood has these on his beautiful Max.

Are you getting 17's or 18's? The bigger you go, the "lag" you will feel in terms of acceleration and braking power.

I have the Evo5's, which are basically identical. I used to get about 315 miles to the tank, but i barely make it to 300 now. It also depends on your driving habits.

I would get them in 18's...17's look a little small. I have 235/40/zr18. You could go 235/35/zr18 as well, but they are too thin in my opinion

no, A Flood99 doesnt have em. speedymax99 has em in 19's chromed. they are pretty nice.

i got 19" EV-S and i get 300 mpg ALL city. im also on 245-40

acceleration will mostly be lost from a stop. from a roll u lose less. go with 19's, u wont regret em

Got these a few years ago. Didn't have the money to get 18z at the time. These are 17z on Intrax springs.
Get 18z or 19z. If you got the cash. BTW these weigh with the tires as much as the stock wheel which (on a bathroom scale/ghetto weigh in) was about 40lbs.

19's man, 19's !!! they are never too much. no difference between 19's and 18's. IMO one should either get 17's for sole performance or 19's for show. get the 19's and call it a day.

True, I wouldn't get 19s without a kit, drop it on 18s if you are not planning to get one. Only bad things about 19s is availability of tires.
