New wheels

Gruffalo

True Classic
I just finished refurbishing a set of cd31 cromodora wheels, and fitted some new tires.

After some consideration I got a set of nexen n'blue hd plus in 185/60/13. Tests show that they're on par with premium brands in the dry, and that's the only driving I plan to do.

The tires look really nice, and they are a lot more rounded off and the thread section is narrower than the falkens I had earlier.

The wheels are super light, and the wheel combo totally transformed the car!

It is so nimble yet grippy, and the steering feel is so fantastic that I'm lost for words!!!

Who needs power steering, this is just perfect! Reminds me of an early 911, at 20x the money of our little jewels ☺️

Sure, will do. However you will have to be patient a few days since I'm not with the car right now.

Grip is great from what I can tell. You can't exactly power slide the X1/9 like I do with the 928, so in order to feel the limit of the grip you have to corner ridiculously fast, which I think is harder to control in a safe manner.

I have no clue about pressure, I plan to play around with it a little.

But I'm shocked about how narrow they are.

I have these wheels! Also gold ;) I couldn't believe how much more responsive and lively the car was. Acceleration also improved in lower gears a noticeable amount. The only problem I have is one of them is warped and no restoration places will touch them.
