In other words, this car would click off quicker laptimes than an indentically-prepped and tire'd Focus with larger, heaver wheels with tires exhibiting a larger overall diameter.
I like the look; again, it's subtle.  |
Well, I was just judging on looks alone. But for practicality, especially in race applications, then the wheels are perfect. Small, light weight wheels. I just didn't know he took the car to the track.
