I am getting a bit tired of the bandwagon jumping with the "20s kill performance" mantra.
I still am looking for credible statistics on just how much 20s will effect performance. I have seen an Cayenne test where the 20s didn't hurt at all, and actually helped skidpad testing, but that is hardly conclusive either.
Sure, the 20s should hurt performance--but do they in the real world? Is it even noticeable? (and we aren't talking huge, full chrome cast iron bling hoops here either).
This is obviously a daily driver -- does that last 0.0001 really matter? Can't the guy just get good looking wheels and make his car look good in the modern world?

If you just drive to get from point a to point b and don't race every car in sight whats the big deal,they are just wheels.I'm buying a set of 18" wheels just for the track.
Nooooooo....!!!!!

LoL no :-) I have a brand new 2nd. set on the Foose so I was thinking of
putting them on and selling the ones on there now with a few marks on them
if I could get $600 to $750 for the set for 4 rims?
I could get a set of the foose in chrome as well but I think the Gray gose better
on the car.

I don't buy it either. As I have said numerous times my Razors weigh less than the stock rims. Now if you want to do the math on diameter and amt of power to turn it etc...knock yourself out. However, post facts and don't clinge to the old mantra when we didn't have better alloys and putting bigger rims meant more weight.

I am a bit confused though. You just bought a pair of the exact same wheels? How are the new ones different, if they aren't chrome?

FWIW, my new 20's are heavier and I do notice a little more effort to drive them. However, it could be they're hooking better. 
I'd need a track to find out.
That said, I assume the stiffer sidewalls would help give the Mustang a little performance upgrade where it needs it most, even if it is adding a little rotational mass.
