So bought a new set of wheels for tracking. Got the optional OEM Tecnico wheels. Mounted a set of Hoosier slicks on them today and went for a short little drive OMG the turn in is insane.
Remember the first time you drove your Giulia and turned the wheel for the first time and were amazed how great the turn in was? Well it was just like that again with the slicks on. It would be too much for a regular street driving but I’m really excited to test everything out this weekend at ORP racetrack. I think the Gforces and the lap time speeds this car will make will be off the chart!
So I weighed each wheel here is the results also some photos. A total of about 20 pounds less in unsprung weight. Car looks wicked with slicks on.
Giulia wheel/tire weights:
Fronts:
Stock wheel Michelin PS4S 255/35/19: 50lbs
Tecnico w/Hoosier R7 235/35/19 42.7lbs (-7.3lbs)
Rears:
Stock wheel Michelin PS4S 305/30/19: 55lbs
Tecnico w/Hoosier R7 295/30/19 47.6lbs (-2.4lbs)
