RE: 16 inch wheels on a MKI

["Scott F. Williams" <sfwilliams@home.com>]

Hey, the Kosei K1 is a light but sturdy wheel. It does come in a 15x7"
version, though. I'd recommend that size over a 16x7.5" on an A1 chassis car
any day. Think unsprung weight, inertial effects on  braking, acceleration,
etc...

(But, you already know that...) :^)
