Project Black Dog Part 1b: H&R Cup Kit suspension installation
|
Kosei K1 Racing wheels, 7x16-in., were supplied by The Tire Rack. These are high-quality, lightweight, cast alloy wheels. They aren't as light as the best forged wheels, but they are highly affordable and fall comfortably under the 1lb-per-inch rule we like to follow on wheel weights. Plus, we think they look great. Sister magazine Sport Compact Car used them on its MR2 Spyder project, and they survived near-rally abuse. We had them shipped with 205/45-16 Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 tires mounted and balanced, another budget-conscious choice. We may eventually replace these tires with more-serious rubber in an attempt to get some handling numbers, but for now they provide a comfortable, quiet ride. They are lasting well, and supply considerably more grip than the worn stock tires. View Related Article
