A few updates:
1) I took a wheel off and weighed it compared to my stock wheels (with tires) and it came in at 56lbs vs stock at 59lbs. So the new setup is lighter. 2) I noticed the contact area of the new wheel to the hub is about 1/3 of the size of the stock wheels which have a large mating surface. Does this cause additional stress or potential reduced performance under hard cornering? 3) My lugs don’t appear to have a great seat to the wheel either. The paint is scraped unevenly. Probably not an issue but something worth noting. Pictures below |

Therefore, the PSI will be higher but the total static friction (the force that keeps the wheel from moving on the hub) is the same. Quote:

OP- I never noticed what you are describing when I installed my wheels. I think your tire pressures are too high, I ran 32F and 30R cold on the street with my SC3s. Make sure when you mount them up that the mating surface is clean of debris and that the wheel sits flush on the mating surface and that the lug nuts are only contacting the their bevel in the holes.

Appreciate the feedback. I'll drop air pressures a bit, and may dismount and remount very carefully. Slowly hand tighten each lug while rotating the wheel back and forth to be sure the lugs are seating into the bevels. |

Out of curiosity, how do the seats in the wheels look? Are they showing witness marks of even contact?

Better make sure they are 120.0 MM bolt pattern and not 120.46 They may be stamped on the inside of the wheel or the box.... wrong picture sorry
