Re: Handling/Ride: +Rubber/-Unsprung weight?
Definetly get some lightweight wheels and as far as tires get the goodyears
if they will last a long time. You'll be giving up weight by mounting them
on lightweight rims. I have some Konig rims on my Civic that have the weight
molded on the outer part of the rim. It's 635kg. which is about 13lbs.
pretty light. I recommend Konig for your wheels theyre well balanced and
precision made.
