Whether or not it was paid, it seemed that all of the content was provided by the manufacturer. I wasn't left feeling confident that MotoIQ independently verified the information presented. A small disclosure about the data sources, what promotional value/incentives were or were not provided described early in the article would worked wonders. Let's be honest, but in today's world we are all very skeptical of the incentives behind all publications.
As for the wheels, I'd love to see what 18x9 and 18x10.5 sizes weigh.
Random question.. but the GT350R wheels, these are 5x114.3? 19x11?

Baby steps! His build is pretty rad tho, been watching that a bit. But just the baby 315s on 12s as a step from 285s on 10.5s. Thats gonna be hard enough to get on the car and keep it low. Still working on how much can I even cut the fender for clearance. And then do I pay someone to cut them and get it done right or just hack it myself? And what over fenders do I run... I should make a thread to get help from those that have already been down that route.
There's definitely a lot of ways to go about it and I'm no body guy. If I ever get aftermarket body panels it'll be a clone of a knockoff voltex kit lol.

Pretty cool the composite tech is moving along. Hopefully capitalism and science does its thing and wheels like this will become affordable.

Glad other folks thought it read like an infomercial cause it sure did to me . I am glad that part of the testing methodology and data were presented since it allowed both of those to be analyzed. Analyzing both would give those who understand how to properly setup an unbiased test lots of cause for concern. I don't doubt that these may help. Just not certain that the "testing" done in this article can be used to justify it.
