Default how does a lighter wheel give you less body roll? wouldn't the

grippier rubber let you go through turns faster and create more body roll?

Yup. I said "the car just sticks to the ground which is more because of the S03's than the rims."

They are not listed on the website...yet at least. Email Tomasz and he'll hook you up. No spacers!

Default i don't think you're understanding me. more grip = more lateral g's possible, right? but with no

suspension changes, taking a turn faster will = more body roll, not less. taking the turns at the same speed should be the same body roll.

anyways, enjoy the rims. they look nice on your car! what size are the wheels?

Default Not really sure about this...but I swear that body roll has been reduced dramatically. It's not

an exaggeration.

I will certainly do so. The price you got of $940 shipped is better than tire rack!

Maybe you're feeling less tire flex?
