Thanks guys! Just when I finally find a set of wheels I really like, oh well. I guess my wife is right, I've got expensive taste...

 

Nice! I think the color scheme will pop on your Nebula Grey. Are you staying with the deep dish going for the Pro-Touring look?

 

I think I'm gunna go with the lip, I like the matte face and gloss black lip... but I'm not sure, what do you think?

 

I wish I could give you a sound recommendation, but I suck at choosing wheels. I'll see some jaw dropping wheels on a web site, but when I see them on an actual car, they don't appear to be all that. I just seem to have trouble envisioning wheels on a car taking a car's color scheme, stance, and profile into consideration. I have to see them on the car, but then it's too late. And to compound things, a set of wheels might look great on a Camaro or Audi, but not so much on a RC F. So I find myself perusing website/galleries looking for wheels on RC Fs only.

 

Lol I hear ya, I figure y spoke look great on rcf.. gunna go deep look with wide rear rims/tires.. matte black face gloss black lip with some fat tires will give a super aggressive look imo, plus blue bolts and calipers on black rims on grey car I think is unique and would look beautiful.. if I do this I hope I'm right lol

 

Speaking of wings.. what wing is this!?!?!?, I think it looks mean, not into the camber though.

 

 

I'm sure those are reasonably priced. LOL

They are amazing though!

The wing does very little if anything at all in terms of downforce.

What the car really needs is some aero up front and badly.

Once you get over 220km/h the steering wheel gets light and even worse over 240km/h.

 

I keep the tire pressure in the rear about 2 - 3 PSI to keep the steering nicely loaded up and planted. It works actually quite well even when going over 220 km/h. Though, I do plan on getting a nice carbon fiber lip spoiler at some point like the TE one. Only the drilling part irks me.

 

I take it you already have a lowered car, that is usually the first step. Next thing I suppose it needs is a sizable front lip and we not talking about the common carbon fiber ones you usually see (those are usually less functional and more cosmetic).. An ALPHEYGA front lip would work very well or some of the aggressive aluminum ones


You mean 2-3 psi over factory suggested?

 

Yeah, keep it at around 38 - 39 PSI rear and about 36 - 37 PSI front.

 

I agree with this. Played with the stock suggested 36psi when I got my Yoko Advan Apex tires. I decided to play around and go with Rolla’s PSI numbers which he’s posted numerous times. I can confirm it fees better with minimal slop especially on slalom like transitions.

 

My car has KW v3 installed and the car was cornered balanced after installing. The car has a near perfect front to back and diagonal corner balance now.

When I run it on the track I have to run the rears about 2 to 3 PSI LOWER to get them to use the full contact patch compared to the front.

The steering only feels light at high speed as the car needs proper front aero. None of these popular lips you see on the market do anything other then cost money and get broken.

 

Not sure what your build is like but if you have an aftermarket rear spoiler that will mess up your front aero. Most people go for a big spoiler to make them look more racy or trying more downforce but it ruins the front aero. Of course this can be balanced by an aggressive front lip. I mentioned ALPHEYGA as it is a very aggressive front spoiler and will induce a good bite at the front wheels. Mingofish had one installed on his RCF and it appeared to work well for him on the track.

Another consideration may be the corner balancing, keep the focus on the diagonal balance but be willing to sacrifice or be flexible on the front to back balance.
Induce more of a positive rake by adjusting the front suspension lower relative to the rear. A positive rake will pinch the air at the front forcing it to accelerate underneath the car faster creating more downforce. Amount of positive rake has to take into consideration how much the rear diffuser can prevent air from leaking into it from the sides. The leak would rob the downforce you working so hard to generate. It's all a balancing act and some trial and error may be necessary. The car is obviously getting lighter at the front end at speed so why not bias the weight more to the front. When it comes to front and back the corner balancing is not taking into consideration the dynamic change happening when car is moving at top speed.

Just my 2cents
