    Very interdasting.

    Who wouldve thought that thered be that much flex in the rim structure to allow things like bottoming out in turns, and different tyre wear.

    Does that mean Rotas = better lap times? Trollol

    Anyway this is a Cast vs Cast (albit MAT Vs MAT cast)

    I wonder what would happen if we have a Cast vs. Forged scenario?

    Pls rep if you think its good...

    One interesting point I pick up from the this, is the wheel slip causing the wheel balancing to be off. Time to go do my wheel balancing.
