Wings/spoilers sure bring this out. My interest is in the wheel 'upgrades'. After looking at this as a mod I am interested in a combination of performance and looks. What I can't figure out is that people drool over OZ and BBS but Enkei's/RAY's, etc look like they are cheaper and lighter. I don't hear about any of those wheels being lousy, so how do people rationalize the OZ/BBS purchases other than just looks and reputations (of which I personally feel the Enkei's/RAY's have an equal footing on)?? Or is that the reason? No big tech explantions please - I'm an ME and unless somebody has specific data those tacts will prove to be dead ends most likely. Anybody?  |
I dont have an answer! But Enkei/Ray's if cheaper and if stronger certainly would make them the ticket for me.
For my olde (now sold BMW) I bought SSR Comps. They were the perfect size for track work, light, and affordable compared to BBS etc, but they were softer and I ended up bending 2 of them.
I have heard Ray makes strong wheels (I need to learn a bit about Enkei) and if so, those are the ones for me.
