Hello Everyone,
So I searched some topics about wheels and tire, found some interesting ones here and here, albeit a bit old with missing links and photos.
About me and my X : 1500 EU 1985 Carb.
Use as street car and also plan on using it on track day and VHRS Rallye (mountain, regularity rally, TSD)
here my questions for you :
I can buy old magnesium wheels CD30 for 800e 13/5.5 (CD32 not good as they are 4x100, thanks Jeff)
Or I could buy brand new Minilites/Superlites for 400e, 13/6 or 13/7 (page)
I really like the design of the minilite black with the chrome circle.
Also the CD32/CD30 I can buy here in France are second hands, with some chips, paint problems etc..
The weight between the magnesium and the minilite/superlite is kind of big, anyone here has tested the difference ?
As my X is just a bit better than stock, I gues lighter wheels would help a lot...
Another part of the question, the tires :
if on the CD32/30 13/5.5 > 175/60 on front, 205/60 on the back, or 175/60 +185/60 ?
if on the Minilite 13/6 > 185/60 front, 205/60 on the back ? Or else ?
I dont have any suspension modifications...
Also the 13x7 Minilites look gorgeous (for the rear), but I have read in different threads that it will bea problem for the fenders...
But not sure if its because these Xers had the car lowered or not.
In short, I need your help to figure out what is the best for handling and grip...
I couldnt find on the internet the real property of oversized tire, etc... I understand its good for the front wheels to not have too much wider tires.
Thanks !
edit : Added what I have now, Cromodora Alloy from Uno Turbo, 165/70 tires. I dont like them very much.
