wkdtime Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 oh no not 19's, you wont be able to drive in them, your teeth would propably buckle as they would keep clashing because of the unbarably harsh ride, i bet your wheels rub against arches so violently that the car vibrates, you'll be best off with 14's or personally i'd go for 14.5" as a comprimise between looks and performance.

Its good to see how much weight can be removed from a car without making it undrivable. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good to see how much weight can be removed from a car without making it undrivable. JB We did think about all of that but decided to create a fast road/race car not an all out race car. We will at some point make a carbon tail gate and may also make some carbon doors, if we do the doors we would make them to take std windows and motors, we don't want to strip the car out we are trying to take a fine line between performance and usability.
