Curious to know this since I'm going to be going to 18" wheels soon.
Any noticable degradation in performance (accelaration/power)? TIA

I have 18s.
No change in power, makes the steering a tiny bit heavier at parking speeds though. It also depends on the weight of the wheels you get too. I have the MazdaSpeed wheels, and I don't find it an issue.
