Tires and rims

I just have that effect, sorry :twisted: haha but nahh, I wasnt aiming that towards anyone, was just saying in general. Also helps pass the time at work when you are working from 12-8am....

I feel your pain! I work nights too, though tonight is my first night off

Lucky you, I work 12-8am the next two nights also....then back to school. Can anyone say screwed up sleep schedule?!

Yeah, my four on / four off are pretty messed, but it's much worse when you have to focus and go to do learnings.

Ohh well, need the money if I wanna buy stuffs for my car! lol

Yeah, so get to work!!!
:lol:

I am, but I am falling asleep at this keyboard...

Oh no no no, I never get upset about things like this. People just seem to get me going sometimes ... BORAK!!!!! ... not naming any names though of course Sure, I stoked the fire a bit with my original comment (strictly for fun!) but I never wanted it to go any further lol.

It's fun to discuss things like this, especially in the winter - helps to pass the time. :lol:

Keith, my wheels weigh 26lbs a piece without air/tires. I think your 18's are around the same weight? There was definitely a noticeable difference in power when I put them on. The car felt a lot more laggy. If you want speed and handling, 20's are definitely not the way to go. Ride quality has suffered a tiny bit, but nothing substantial. It's not like I feel every bump in the road or anything like that. A little more rough, but it's something I'm willing to deal with for the sake of having them haha. People who ride in the car don't know any difference and have never commented on any sort of poor ride or "non-Lincoln" feel.

I have never really been about speed or handling with this car, I went the show route. It's not fast and it handles like a Lincoln should. I accepted that right from the get-go.

Got to agree with you on this, it was fun it had me checking the site a little more. I was just having fun also, I got to say I like how your rims look on the car it matches 100%. That's the same route I'm going just for show, not looking for speed.
I had Mercury Mariner 2007 and I put 18's on it . It had 16's before and the gas was ok, but once I put the 18's i noticed the difference in gas.
Does it seems like you waste a little more gas? That's the only thing I'm thinking about, but now I got a 4cyl. So it wont be as bad as the truck.

How heavy are the wheels you are purchasing? My guess is that you're going to notice a slight difference in fuel economy. My wheels are also something like 4% larger than factory size so my mileage is automatically going to go down because the car is registering less.

Cool, THANKS! Not sure on weight, I still haven't get them. They will ship out on 3/03/12. But I figured I would suffer on the gas.

For the absolute little difference it'll make on your fuel economy I wouldn't worry about it.

^^ Truuf!!

So you spend a tiny bit more on gas, oh well - at least you're rolling on some nice wheels which makes it all worth it!

Yeah your right.

That plus the people who think gas changing $.01-$.02 actually makes a difference. Fools :lol:

Except up here when gas changes 0.02 overnight... 60L x 0.02 = 1.20$ in extra gas!

And when it goes down you're back to the same thing :lol:

Yeah, some people will drive a few miles to find cheap gas. Not noticing they are spending gas while driving. While getting gas for two cents cheaper, but they spent more than $3 to get the gas.

I never undestood why people did this..
I mean there is a gas station really close to me that is about 10 cents more than the one half a mile away from it and I can understand that, but people that will drive anywhere over a mile more away just to save a few cents a gallon baffle me. It just doesnt make sense :dunno:

I think too many people get caught up in the price of gas. I almost never know the price of gas becauseregardless of the price I will fill up and keep driving. If it was $5-$6 per gallon then maybe I'd start to minimize my driving, but for the sake of a few cents? I have bigger things to worry about!
