Good info Charlie -always enjoy reading your racecar blog and handling mods. I thought I'd check my wheels after reading your post and see how badly the 17s hurt the handling/feel. I've got luggage scales rather than bathroom ones but my lattice 15" with 888s on came out at 17kg exactly too
Comp 6 spoke MOs with T1-Rs on came out at 18.5kg - an increase of 1.5kg - explains why it feels worse on bumpy roads
Have to look out for some sharktooths to swap the 888s onto
1.5kg is a useful saving per corner
