Default Wheel size/mass effects on performance info in new European Car issue

I can't find the info on their website (www.europeancarweb.com) but in a letter response on pg14 of the MARCH '04 issue is an excellent brief summary of the effects of larger wheels (both diameter and weight) on performance. Probably the best to-the-point summary I've ever read.

Can anyone find a link to it? I can post some of the info here if no link can be found. Thanks,

You want the article itself? I probably have the issue if you let me know which it is.

Default No, I just wanted to make the info easily availible here

It's a great summary, answers a lot of questions I've seen posted on here, and would be a great link. I just can't find it online to link to. Thanks tho'

Can you scan it or at least paraphrase what they said?

Default Yes, but I'd prefer to get a link to it.

EC did a good job on that one and I'd like to make sure they get the proper credit. I guess I can quote them etc. if needed, but I'll wait until tonight to see if someone can come up with a link.

Default Looks like their online content is a month behind their print version

Their current cover on the website shows last month's cover. This month has the 5 series, right? I'd think they'd put the info from the current print issue on their website when the next print issue comes out. Makes sense - gotta charge for something before the masses get it on the web.

That's probably right, but I didn't see their editorial letters anywhere.
