I4 Turbo with 21" wheels feedback?

Just looking for some feedback from people running 21's on the I4 Turbo. Really slowed the car down or ok? Searched but can't find any feedback.

Thanks

if you go bigger wheels, it is going to make you slower for sure. I have mine with 20", it is absolutely slower than before but I really don't mind. just put some tune(JB, aFe, RC, etc) and sport mode, it is quicker . however, it's still slower.

It depends on the wheels, light forged 21" should be lighter than OEM 19".
