Arctec MK Dynamics - Opinions?
Hi all,
I've been a lurker here for quite some time and consider myself still rather new to the Porsche experience. Also been sucking up all the info. and *unique personallities* here on the forums. You guys are quite a crowd.
Anyhow... I'd like to get some thoughts and opinions on these new(?) ARTEC - MK Dynamics in 19". The wheel's manufacture link points to http://www.rh-wheels.com ... so I'm assuming that ARTEC is an RH company?
1] Quality? How would these 3-piece compare in quality with the forum populars - HRE, iForge, etc.
2] Weight? My 02 C2 Cab. is currently riding on stock 10-Spoke wheels (http://www.wheelenhancement.com/inde...88b4128250de08). I'm concerned if these would cause unsprung weight.
3] Tire Size? What would be the recommended tire size and maker if my main concerned is to achieve the perfect balance between - most comfortable ride and best handling... without the need for mods (suspension, rolling fenders, spacers, etc..) and not compromising any of the p-cars performance and suspension design. (I understand that naturally any mods would change the dynamics of the p-car, but good (or the right) change is what I'm trying to get at). I will not be tracking the car, at least not with 19's.
Looks like the forum favs are Conti's and Mich's PS2... what about TireRack's BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 or Yoko AVS?
Wheel size:
Fronts - 8 x 19 ......... with 235/35/19
Rears - 10.5 x 19 ..... with 295/30/19
Any opinion/advise would be appreciative.
