1. Whats the difference in 18" to 19" wheels on the CV8 - worth doing?

2. When the car is powering along and then you brake/slow down the car can send flames out the exhaust. While no doubt looking nice from the rear is this likely to do any damage (now I know how to create it I do it on purpose.....)?

Hard acceleration (with SC) following lift off = a burp out of the exhaust and subequent flames (too many witnesses now to ignore). Just want to make sure that as I kind of enjoy it i do not want tobe doing any damage!

1.) Cosmetic+incease road noise - slight reduction in ride quality
2.) Unburnt fuel if you have cats can mean a catastrophe (oops) for cats though I'd like a copy of your dfco settings!

19" rims only marginally reduce ride quality. Road noise has hardly increased. I went up to 19" so that AP's could be easily accommodated and I liked the look of HSV rims on the Yellow HSV GTO Coupes.
