Konig Wide Open 15x8 13lb or TR C3M 15x9 15.8lb?
Have 2 sets of wheels, but can only keep one. I know that light and wide would be best (like 6UL, Kong Dial-In, Helix, Advanti S2 or RPF01), but it's not a choice at this time.
What i can choose from: Konig Wide Open 15x8 13lb + 205 Bridgestone RE-71R TR C3M 15x9 15.8lb + BF Goodrich 245 Rival S Suggestions? |
Ohh my god 2.8lbs per wheel heavier...... Who would run such a thing? How much for the c3m's shipped to 26201? :D
It would help to know how you plan to use the car.... But the 245 rival S 1.5 on 9's will be substantially faster than the re71. I personally don't believe that weight difference would ever show up in instrumented testing. |
well, the wheel+tire may add up to be a bit more substantial.
Track+auto-x. I plan on getting stock 15 or 16 wheels later for daily and to/from track. Car is not a dedicated lightweight track build, but still was wondering if bigger is in fact better in this case. NB2 with front 1.25 RB hollow and Koni sports + GC kit. |
Here's an interesting article with some good data for both rival S vs. rival S 1.5 vs. re71 and also an analysis of a 245 on 9 vs. 10" wheel, although that was on a VR1.
https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/ar...ut-class-2016/ GRM also did a test of heavy vs. light wheels and didn't find that much of an affect. I can't find the article at the moment. |

They don't make the RE-71R in 225/15 sizes.
It is 205 - updated original post. |
Don’t worry about wheel weight, just pick the one you like better

I've got the TR C3Ms and I'm sick of them. I'd keep the Konigs.

Dammit, I spoke before I should have. I've got the TR C1Ms, not the 3's, didn't realize the difference (tells you how much I care about them).
No cracking and they've held up really well over the past 7(?) years, but I'm tired of the way they look and want something more aggressive looking. |
Width over weight always.
