What size wheels??
Hey guys and gals...

We are in development with a new wheel design and want to know what size most of you are going with to see what size we are going to premier the wheel at.

Thanks for your input!!

Nick

I would suggest whatever you make be the same or less weight then the factory setups. Adding unsprung weight is the worst thing you can do for braking and handling performance.

+1. This car was engineered for the OE offset as well.
