Standard wheels, the best handling?

[Matt_K]

IIRC Rota\'s are around 9kg a wheel. Pretty good for a non-forged wheel, but not \'exactly\' light.

Most stuff that costs less than 400 a corner is likely to be significantly heavier than stock I think.

I think that hits the nail on the head. It will cost more than most are willing to spend to get a better dive and look better.

Although a bit of googleing would suggest that it the downsides are not as bad as suggested? And that the biggest issue is the ride quality..

So... For me i have the following to sets of wheels to choose from:

SUPER ADVAN 3 spoke 17"   10.7kg
new goodyear eagle f1 tires on them
9" wide

Standard wheels  16"     7kg
well used ventus tyres
8" wide

I think unless anyone wants to pay me oodles for the advans i will be using them.:driving

I\'ve got Volk Racing (Rays) three spokes 17\'s. I don\'t know the weight.
But the last time i took one off i remember thinking it was light.

Maybe someone could tell how much they weight. The closest i could find was some multi spokes 18\'s. At 7.5kg.

iv got racing beat split rims on the front 235 40 17 and one piece jobbys on the back 255 40 17 and its a million times better than the silly 16\'s in came one, and  the bigger rears help it stop thinking its a drift car on track days, the whole car just feels safer and its more reasuring to push harder, my mates fd has got some 225 35 18\'s on and it drives like a sack of pants, serves him right for going to halfrauds for his wheels
