949 Racing wheel survey - New designs!
|
Really excited about this. Hope you all will share your feedback, can't wait to get more wheels out to market.
|
Saw the email and took the survey... been looking for 15" wheels for my MR2 and really like the look of the 6 spoke design Sanger the best. I had 6ULs way back when on my track/autocross setup Integra...

We had some comments about the spoke shape because people couldn't tell how concave the designs were. So we made new renders. Take a look.

That's right, just starting discussion here :)

Damn the Sanger looks sick!
|
I'm not seeing substantial differences between 6UL and Coto though .. slightly different bends here and there and that seems it.
I also prefer "looks wise" wheels of lesser spoke count, like Sanger. And they are easier to clean due more clearance between spokes. I guess, slight drawback might be a bit less evenly distributed load between reduced count of spokes, which may ask for slight extra material/weight to compensate, but looks wise it's nicer, yes. |

6UL looks best in lower offsets so a lip can be included. In high offsets, the lip gets to small and spokes too convex. Narrow 6UL sizes also make brake clearance a challenge. Coto provides more brake room and allows a concave shape even with high offset. Weights are about the same at the same load rating. |
imo, spokes should follow lug count. 5 spokes for 5 lugs :) 6 spokes on 5 lugs irritates my ocd. 1 can be centered up, but the rest are always going to look 'off' once they're on a rolling car.

The Coto is looking thick!

Like them all, but I still like the lip on the 6ul. Also the shorter, seemingly straighter spokes just "look" stronger. I understand that is unlikely, but ...
