This is a crazy little side project I've been working on. Made two sets of these 14.4lb, 650kg load rated 18x9 +45 forged magnesium 6UL's. One set on Huevo, our TT build. The other on my daily 30AE shown here on a Saturday morning pancake run.
Tires are 225/35 A052 on Huevo, 225/35 Hankook S1 Evo shown here. They're about the same height as OEM so a bit better tire clearance than the typical 245/40/17. Tread measures about 232mm where the 17 measures 242mm with an RT660.
Depending on how the track and street performance stacks up, we might begin offering a regular tilt cast-flow formed aluminum 6UL in the usual (+10%) 585kg load rating. The mags were built to 650kg to more closely match the stiffness of the A356.2 aluminum. Magnesium is flexier than aluminum but higher tensile strength.
