Light weight wheels

<< < (3/3)

Shoduchi:
I fitted Eibach Pro-Kit, Koni FSD dampers and a SuperPro ALK, still with Omanyts 17'' that have Michelin Primacy HP at the front and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric at the rear. Next month I'll have fitted new OZ Ultraleggera 8Jx18'' with Continental SC5. Then I'll be able to check what difference does that make to the ride quality. At the moment it's very comfortable. Just the SALK reduced it a bit over bumps and pot holes.

I'd imagine that most people who've fitted lightweight wheels have done a ton of other stuff already/too.
Lightweight wheels shouldn't make the ride harder unless you increase the wheel size. They will simply allow the current set up to work better as its controlling less weight!
