I stand corrected...and educated...didn;t mean to post incorrect info....I have heard that the aluminum wheels provide a much better ride, especially at high speeds....thanks for the info. BTW...how do you balance steel wheels? thanks

Thanks for the responses...just looking for less expansive way to get a few more MPH over gear swap. My back-of-the-napkin math tells me that the 14R20's would provide roughly 62 MPH vs 58.

Thanks
