20" wheels affect performance?

I know there probably isnt much difference with 19-20" wheels, but I was thinking about getting some new 20" volks for the ride. Just wondering if anyone has put 20's on the front and back, and if there has been a performance diff? newbie question..

Some of the differences from the stock 19's going up to a 20 will be the slight increased weight (depending on what wheel you get), and the additional rubbing if you already have a drop. I dont have my 20's yet, but those who do may be able to chime in a little better.

The "rotational mass" is what hinders performance in bigger wheels. The more "mass" that needs to roll, the more power it robs. It's not as crazy as some people say it is in my experience...

Stock 19s are heavy as-is, so going to 20's wont hurt as much as you think, if at all
