Hi Guys,
I am replacing the standard 14" 7 spoke hollow wheels on my 94 Eunos, after one too many bumps have caused a buckle. I really fancy the OZ Records in 16" with 205/45 section tyres. I cannot find any weights for the OZ Records at all, from many hours surfing, but needless to say they are going to be a fair bit heavier than the 14" puppy's (11lb), I know tyre selection is going to be limited, by going the 16" route, but as I swear by T1-S's so as long as I can get some of these in 16" I don't really care too much. My questions are 2.
1/ Does anyone have any ideas about the weight of these wheels?2/ I would be interested to hear from anyone who is running 16" wheels on a MX-5, how it handles with tramling etc, and if it is still as controllable/catchable when the rear starts to slide.
I found with an old MK1 MR2 that putting bigger wheels ruined the handling completely, the out right grip was way better, but when it slid you had to have the reactions of a fly on wizz to catch it.
Cheers Mark.
