My Mustang came with 18" wheels, I have seen one like it with 20" wheels. I like the way it looks and want to put some on mine. Will this effect the performance at all?

From what I've heard, 20" wheels can actually decrease performance due to the weight and mass of them, plus the dimensions of them screwing up your speedo, so you will be going faster than what the speedo says.
