Bleh, those second two are a bad idea. Why not go wheel shopping and give us a few more choices?

im sure some of you guys aren't into replicas, but you can find CSL reps for cheap these days...i hear good things about velocity.

drop some coin and go w/ those, or leave it alone...silver looks best.

Amazing weight savings, but the real dilemma si potholes. My Fikse's never stood a chance in St. Louis.


I vote for a combination between 2 and 3. Get them powder coated black and get the lip painted in red. Hotness!

Woot!


14 lb Kosei K1's for the win! You're going ot see a night and day difference in acceleration

23 lbs - 14 lbs = 9 lbs unsprung weight per corner


9 x 4 corners = 36 lbs unsprung weight lost

36 lbs x10 lbs sprung weight conversion = 360 lbs sprung weight loss

.1 sec reduction in 1/4 mile per 100 lbs of sprung weight removed

.36 secs removed in 1/4 mile

Very rough estimate based on "common" concepts and conversions


It'll feel like you lost 360 lbs of weight off your car.

Why you always got to show how smart you are? Compensating for something?
