    @NoNonsensePC but a greatly appreciated one for people unsure about what wheels they want. A very basic option is pretty simple, but when you add details such as offset, camber, width, and maybe even tires, it would be intense.

    I want the Konig Hypergram. They offer the exact size and fitment I want, they offer a few more color options and great quality paint, they'd look good on my car and they're just as light (talking pennies worth of weight difference) as the Enkei RPF1's at HALF the cost. But the lack of a lifetime structural warranty has me leaning toward the Motegi MR131. It's a buzzkill for me. If I had my old Mazda3, I'd get ESR over VarrStoens anyday, solely for the structural warranty.

    Also consider Braid. Their flowformed (FF) series wheels are very light, very strong, and very affordable right now because of how strong the US dollar is against the euro. These are so strong in fact that they are used in stage rally in the UK/Europe as they can be ordered in just about any PCD/centerbore and offset. Great video, keep up the great work.

    ya but, does lowering unsprung weight by lowering wheel weight make the suspension rougher, if not changed out to adapt for the lower weight? BC if the OEM springs,etc. are kept, and the weight goes down by say 5lb/wheel, then the struts, etc. would be pushing higher pressure against the wheel, making for a rougher ride. ??

    So the part of the wheel that needs to be the strongest is still basically a cast weak point.

  • @Shadow0fd3ath24

    @Shadow0fd3ath24

    2 жыл бұрын

    NO! the part needing to be strongest is around the lugs and the outer rim edge. The only way to make the rim lip super light is to forge them. Just the air pressure on the lip of a wheel is usually more than the weight on the wheel at rest. With 35 psi over 50 square inches in an average 20x9 wheel, that is 875lbs over the surface of each wheel lip, or 1750lbs per wheel! The spokes take up a lot less pressure than youd think too even on bumps as its spread and has suspension, and air to dampen blows

    Well what I learned through my own research is that a good cast wheel is comparable to a rotary forged wheel. If it weighs 30 lbs., or less and has the same load handling capacity as a similar rotary forged wheel, then the cast wheel is just as good and for less money.

  • @michaelangelo5783

    @michaelangelo5783

    2 жыл бұрын

    May be comparable in strength, but lighter weight improves all performance. My is350 stock wheels were roughly 30lbs each. My enkei wheels are roughly 21lbs each and no doubt stronger. That's 9lbs per corner of unsprung weight. I've read each 1 pound of unsprung weight removed is equal to 3-4lbs of sprung weight. Acceleration is snappier, steering feel is much better and ride is much more compliant.
