All of you retards trying to shave every 1/16 oz off your unsprung weight like these are some kind of fucking race car...on the street...welcome to garbage metal and shit engineering. Fucking awesome! Hope no one got hurt learning that.

maybe not a race car, but I can really appreciate the difference. Going from relatively heavy KDW2s on 15" wheels to a really light snow tire on 14" wheels is very noticeable in everything - ride quality, handling, acceleration, braking are all improved with lighter wheels/tires.

that said, I've never been a fan of the cheap knock off wheels. If you want something light and strong that is also cheap, I think 14" basketweaves are your best bet. They're nearly disposable these days..

WOW this makes me feel better about my tsw's at least after all the shit ive put them through they are still true.

That's exactly what I said when I scrolled down and saw the second picture.

I was talking with a man that sells Miata wheels (Emilio) and he mentioned that every Rota he measured was out of spec in some way, most typically roundness and concentricity.

Some scary pictures in that thread.

Emilio of 949 Racing? You might know my buddy erik haha

The only thing surprising about this is that anyone is surprised...

Generally speaking...You get what you pay for.

There is a reason they don't cost as much as the best shit ever.

[dashboardmonkey]

Jon - yep, I really like the mt1s too !

I thought those were TR wheels but after zooming in on the center cap I think they are actually Team Dynamic wheels (based on the "Dynamic" on the center cap). Scary stuff!
