Honda S2000 Project Car - S2000 Square One
Wheels & Tires
We conclude this upgrade update with a review of the new shoes and soles on our AP2, starting first with coveted 17x7.5 Enkei RPF1 rims tucked in each wheelwell. The RPF1's weigh a remarkable 15.2 pounds each, primarily because of Enkei's MAT process, a method for producing light, strong cast wheels by spinning the castings during manufacture to compress the metal.The wheels are shod in Dunlop Direzza DZ101 rubber, the fronts 215/45R17 and the rears 245/40R17. The Direzza's boast decent tread wear, temp, and speed ratings (300, A, and W respectively), but after some adventures in under and oversteer, we learned traction is not this tire's strong suit. It's better for spiritted daily driving and cruising, but we'll need more aggressive rubber for the track. Stay tuned-more on the way. View Related Article
