Wheels: Size & Weight
Discussion
Hi, I'm after advice.
:Newbie warning:
The 4.2 we bought comes with early 16" wheels. Assuming a suspension upgrade to Nitron shocks (or, if we're feeling particularly rich next year, the race-Tuscan adjustable set-up), which wheel size is most effective on track, 16, 17 or 18"?
A corollary of this question is the weight of the wheels. I know nothing about Cerbies, but in the porsche world, it is relatively easy to work out weights for wheels & wheel/tyre combinations, hence unsprung weight ratios. There is an optimum weight/grip/handling/can-still-get-full-lock-on size, which for porkers in my experience is some way below the max-pose size.
So..
1) Are e.g. Spiders in 16" lighter/heavier then the early wheels?
2) What size wheels do people use on track (e.g. as a second set)?
