I noticed a little bit of change but I think it was really only in acceleration. It's not noticeable enough to push me towards another set of rims, but if I were taking the car to the drag strip I would definitely go back to the stock rims.

The ride was stiffer, and it seems more energy from the bumps were sent to the cabin. I already had bad bump steer do to my failing rear struts, but it didn't much any worse with the larger rims.
