    Great Vlog. 1/25/2022. My C8 build week is to be February 7. I went with the “Standard Wheel” for the 2022 HTC.
    I didn’t like the limited selection of wheels offered for the build.
    This will really help when I look for aftermarket rims and tires.
    I like the look/stance of your C8!
    I saw the ZR1 in a video at Blackout Tinting. It looks amazing!!!
    The 2019 would be great to have as a ZO6 or as a ZR1.
    If I wasn’t getting the C8 soon, I’d like to be a buyer of one of the aforementioned.

    Hmm, what track performance problems or enhancements does going with a larger front wheel present? What ride qualities suffer or are improved?. These are serious questions when talking about sports cars.

    • @HorsePowerObsessed
      @HorsePowerObsessed  3 роки тому +4

      The front wheel being bigger means the sidewall must be smaller. This obviously aids in handling but means the ride quality will be slightly stiffer. I haven't noticed the ride being stiffer but the steering seems more direct.

  • @cardezvous2879
    @cardezvous2879 2 роки тому +1

    What you are saying about positive and negative offset is incorrect. The negative offset will make the wheel protrude out the front way more. If anyone has any questions reach out and we’d be more than happy to explain and show you on our c8

    Once again you have produced an entertaining C8 content vlog that is packed with information. As time goes by, there is development and that sometimes leads to a change of information and recommendations. This Oct 19 episode should hold up became of the solid numbers we are dealing with. On, "another channel," there was information about how to dress up and protect the C8 radiators. I followed through and purchased the kits and there was no material or instructions inside. Additionally, I found the openings, upon close examination, to be too large to protect the radiators and thus the screens are for show only and offer no protection. I researched and found out that Eikorn Motorsports in Arizona is working on a package that not only "dolls the car up," but protects those valuable radiators as well. The is put here solely as an example. Right away, I love the look of these aftermarket rims. You are pretty deep into the video and haven't mentioned how they are made or what the materials are used to make them. Are they forged, for example? Thanks. AF

      Thanks, man! At 2:03 I talk about the name of the wheels and show on the screen that they are flow forged. Oddly enough I have a video coming up showing some radiator protection but I have 2 different brands that sent me their grills. I have the one you are referring to and noted limited protection myself but the other brand does things a little differently. I'm going to leave it up to the viewers as to which one is "better"

  • @FFE-js2zp
    @FFE-js2zp 3 роки тому +1

    I like the wheels and I'm picky. You have it backwards, positive offset tucks the wheel into the car. Its easy to remember because the hub in the middle of the rim width is 0 offset. If the hub (the outside rim moves opposite) moves toward the outer rim, thats a positive offset, because the hub is whats being offset.
    A 12" wide wheel with a +45mm offset doesn't make much sense unless the wheel options are limited, or you want a 335 tire on a narrow car. The 12" rim width pushes the outer rim way out, the +45mm offset pulls it back in 1.8" plus removes the deep dish look. In general, big negative offsets with a larger wheel width produce the deepest dish. It looks like your front tires are a bit stretched to fit the width of those rims. It seems like 315/245 R/F would understeer quite significantly on a 50/50 car, a 61/39 car could be touchy. Be careful til you feel it out.

    • @HorsePowerObsessed
      @HorsePowerObsessed  3 роки тому +1

      I knew positive offset pulls the wheel into the wheel well and when I said it in the video I put it backwards for some reason. I appreciate you bringing this up because I forgot to fix it in post.
      The 315/245 wheel setup wouldn't understeer much more (if any) than the stock 305/245 setup. The wheel is an inch wider in the rear but other than that it's the same as far as width is concerned with the stock setup.

    • @FFE-js2zp
      @FFE-js2zp 3 роки тому +1

      @@HorsePowerObsessed
      If you assume tire contact patch is the same length regardless of wheel diameter (it's not, a larger wheel has a little larger patch) then friction is proportional axle weight times tire width.
      Your 50/50 ZR1 has a curb weight of 3600lbs or 3800lbs with driver. So 285mmx1900lb=542K friction on the front and 637K on the rear, or a 46/54 F/R friction distribution. That gives you some OEM protection against the rear end departing first in a corner, or mild understeer. Thats where manufacturers like to live. With a mild understeer to neutral car, the driver can snap the wheel on turn-in to produce a dynamically neutral stance, or even induce mild oversteer.
      Your 39/61 C8 is 3900lbs w/driver or
      245x1540lb=377K front, and 315x2409=759K rear, so your friction distro in a corner is 33/67 or twice as much grip in the rear, which will create severe understeer while corning regardless of driver input.
      The reason 50/50 friction is best is because the centripetal force pulls on a more balanced load. Imagine a table being lifted by a rope attached to the center. If you distribute weight evenly on both sides of that table, the rope can lift more weight before the table goes unstable. But the delicate balance means either side of "the table" could dump first, so it takes skill and feel as you corner.
      A max capability track setup would come from 50/50 friction using a minor tire stagger, like the Top Gear hated 52/48 F/R V8 F-Type with an OEM 265/295 stagger for a neutral 49.6/50.4 F/R OEM track setup out of the box. Thats viewed as way too hard to handle for an average Joe like Clarkson.

    I am have an exsistential crises deciding on the wheels. I like the blaque diamond wheels but I am curious as to why you did not go with the 20 /21 setup? I know you went with the 20/20. So you had to purchase additional tires for the front?

    I see that they offer 20x11 in that wheel which is the stock dimensions for the rear. Just wondering why you didn't go 20x11 with your spec? And can the stock front tires (245) really not be used for a 20x9 front wheel setup? I was thinking of going 20x9 fronts and 20x11 rears with the same offsets, using the stock wheels. Thanks for the video, was actually inquiring about these this weekend. I'm stuck between these and their BD18 wheels. If I would need new tires to run the BD25's, I may opt for the BD18's (still a very nice wheel) as they offer a stock 19/20 set up already

    • @HorsePowerObsessed
      @HorsePowerObsessed  3 роки тому +2

      The stock tires for the front can't work because the stock front wheel is a 19" not a 20" like this setup. I went with a 12" rear for a more concave look and a little more tire contact patch for slightly better traction.

    @cassiespencer6134 3 роки тому +1

    They look great. As if anything you’ve done hasn’t. :)
    That said, at the risk of sounding pedantic, something to be aware of is the fact wheels, tires and brakes are unsprung weight and therefore lighter is better. Hence, smaller diameter wheels are lighter than larger diameter wheels of the same make/model, etc. And the same is true for tires.
    And by reducing unsprung weight it aids acceleration and handling, especially with performance tires. And due to the law of inertia, the unsprung weight of a wheel requires approximately 3X the power to accelerate vs a stationary dead weight.
    For example, by decreasing wheel weight by 15 pounds per wheel, you effectively remove approximately 180 pounds, which is a huge load off the drivetrain and chassis and will make the vehicle feel more responsive and accelerate noticeably quicker than it did before switching to lighter wheels.
    Lighter wheels also rebound from bumps faster and therefore have more grip and more constant grip when driving on imperfect roads. Said another way: lighter wheels have less inertia, and hence the suspension reacts faster to bumps which means the wheels will remain in contact with the road better.
    Furthermore, the lower the unsprung weight, the less work the shocks and springs have to do in order to keep the tires in contact with the road over bumpy surfaces. In fact many problems, if not all, are the result of inertia. And more weight means more inertia. And greater inertia means more work for the shocks and springs in order to keep the tires on the ground. And unsprung components with a greater mass are harder to accelerate/decelerate and thus it’s more difficult for the suspension to maintain a consistent tire load on the road.
    As always: simplicity is a complicated thing. It’s easier to design something that’s too heavy. And more difficult to design something that does the same job and is significantly lighter.

    • @HorsePowerObsessed

    • @cassiespencer6134
      @cassiespencer6134 3 роки тому +2

      @@ST-bk5uf Wheels are a rotating mass and their inertia is determined by their mass. And lighter wheels, having less mass, have less inertia which 'in effect' means they act as if they weigh less.
      The inertia of an object being the resistance offered by the object to a change in its motion or position. And inertia is directly proportional to the mass of the object or to the velocity if the object is in motion.
      Thus heavier wheels have more inertia than lighter wheels with the difference in inertia being expressed in pounds in this case.
      How is that? Because mass (expressed as weight) is a measurable quantity, whereas inertia is a concept used to describe how hard it is to change the current state of a mass. So for example, heavier wheels have more mass and therefore more inertia when rotating. It also means they require more power to start them rolling. Thus, in effect, their mass means they act as though they weigh more than simply their scale weight.

    20x11 +64 5x120 305/30R20 Rear
    66.9mm center bore
    Clears 14mm studs
    The following aftermarket wheels fit more flush. Note offsets are smaller than stock aka take stock offsets and add a NEGATIVE value. Example: stock +52mm offset + (-12mm) = +40 aftermarket offset (more negative than stock).

    :
    2203 19x9 5x120 +44mm (14.35mm poke)
    0801 20x11.5 5x120 +52mm (18.35mm poke)
    MRR Wheels recommendation (stock diameter/widths): +40F, +50R
    BC Racing recommendation:
    Stock height: +35F, +50R
    Lowered: +32-30F, +45-43R
    My
    personal preference:
    +36F, +48R (stock height)
    +32F, +44R (lowered Z51)
    Offset can be more negative on lowered cars due to negative camber naturally added from lowering (it tucks the wheel in more, creating more margin for more negatively offset wheels).

I disdain that we are going there. We're not exotic we're American Muscle 💪Performance Engineering. I don't like these wheels on our Vette's. I like the original five prong wheels from the 50's, 60's, 70's even the 80's. but Porsché, Ferrari, Lamborghini, exotics are not who American Western is or was. Don't get me wrong.
