Yeah, I feel like my wheels really give my .1 base an edge other .1’s I’ve driven don’t have. It literally feels lighter on its feet doing everything. The weight reduction on a rolling diameter probably nets more “horsepower” via power/weight than most bolt on mods (not that this car has many) I’d imagine.

I'm working hard to convince myself that I need the Porsche Turbo S Exclusive carbon fiber wheels.
