Fuel economy has definitely been the same as I track every tank. As far as feeling slower, maybe a hair off the line. So far, I am really liking the way the car looks and feels. More parts going on this weekend.

do you mind elaborating on how it "feels" ?
im thinking about getting these but an inch smaller. I know those are 18lbs (2 lbs lighter than stock so it may be different than your set up. But i was wondering how the car reacted in track conditions. Thanks!

Hi Greg!

It rides slightly firmer than stock without any jiggling or nervousness. The dampening is on point. Pushed hard.. is where you really feel the extra control from the KWs.

I do have a couple sets in stock... so a good deal can be had.

Drop me a PM if you have any additional questions.

Thanks!

Thanks Eugene, but I've been riding on V3s for over a year now

Love this combo! This is the exact colour and wheel choice I am planning on going with on my WRB Brz. This thread has just re-confirmed my liking for this wheel choice!
