Break out Wheels/Tires/Brakes from Suspension
 
I think that Suspension should be its own seperate section from Wheels/Tires/Brakes, given the importance of handling, and handling being a primary driver in the majority of 8 purchases, I think it would be better served to seperate these two sections.

I concur. There are too many threads that say, "which wheel is better?" I know because I've written a few.

Wheels, tires, breaks and suspension are the main parts that determine handling. Granted alot of people want to go all bling-bling and not discuss how that affects handling, it does. One of the first things suggested when you are trying to make your car handle better is to get new tires. It doesn't matter how stiff and low your suspension is if your wheels break from the concrete. It doesn't matter how fast you can take curves if you can't stop in time to avoid a road hazard or you can't get your speed low enough to keep from sliding off the edge of the road. And just because I didn't mention wheels, wheels hold the tire and are one of the heaviest unsprung weights. A good wheel will do a lot for handling.

I think they are all tied together. Now, if you wanted to suggest a Bling-Bling forum, then that might be something to talk about.

LOL. A bling-bling forum we should have!

Yeah. Usually, when someone posts something like wheels, I normally jump right in and respond. That's just the kind of guy I am this week. :)
