It actually feels like its easier to stop the car but my car has no ABS so they lock up really easy and obviously won't hold the road like a 8 inch wide wheel.

Oh yes it does. My old 306 fox coupe with Edelbrok performer HCI kit wen ripping it would lock the fronts up easily, I ended up getting flat spots on my front runners lol

I ran the little 165/15 VW tires on the front and never had any isues with braking but I never had to jam on them hard except at the track. As far as street driving didnt really notice a difference. You can feel the front end kinda push if you try to take a 90 degree corner a little too fast but that was it. I just went back and checked my old stuff and I had 3 1/2's up front not 4s.

Those arent my favorite but if their strictly for the track i guess they would be okay. But then again chrome is not my thing, they are track wheels though so its all up to you =]

I really like the style and look of them. Matches your current wheels. But, if it's all about being light wouldn't a 15" rim be more efficient than a 17" chrome rim?

I don't know about his setup but I know guys running Cobra brakes have to run 17" wheels to clear everything.
