CHOSENMAN007 81 Report post Posted June 26, 2014 12 kg is way to heavy!! Can't be right?! I'm on 18x8 Enkei rpf1 and I'm 8.14kg dead on. Hard to believe a good wheel is that heavy... Even stock wheels are 9.1 kg... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

will300 812 Report post Posted June 27, 2014 Part of me thinks you should go lower, however Function > Form. Other than that looking good. 1 GT86-Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted June 27, 2014 That looks soooooo much better Ian!!! Those alloys are very nice and your wheels don't look lost within the arches any more! At his point, they look awesome weather you lower it or not......but it would look a bit more awesome if it was 1 GT86-Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 Should have got 18s 17s are better and they're lighter! Well done, Ian, they look good. Once it's lowered it'll be spot on. That's a wide tyre though, Ian. Will it ever go sideways? 1 GT86-Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT86-Ian 351 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 Thanks Lauren, Im very pleased with the new look & I also find the rear grip is so much better, just waiting to do a few more miles before I start pushing the new rubber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 442 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 Good size choice, Ian. I thought I had overtyred with my 255/40/17 on 9" rims - being mindful of Lauren's comments on wall angles. But it is certainly throwable, I enjoyed the progressive feel at Woodbridge.. very little to choose between the two but I now have a bit more confidence in the Michelin Sport 3's than I did with the F1 Eagles.. (err... but I've not tried 'em in the wet yet..) Spec K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
