Get the FG bits as the wheels won't affect the corner weighting at all if you get them at a later date ;)

Ad, the unsprung weight of a wheel controls a trade-off between a wheel's bump-following ability and its vibration isolation. So any bumps and surface imperfections in the road (less likely on a track) cause tyre compression-which induces a force on the unsprung weight.
In time, the unsprung weight then responds to this force with movement of its own. The amount of movement is inversely proportional to the weight - a lighter wheel which readily moves in response to road bumps will have more grip when tracking over an imperfect road.
For this reason, lighter wheels are better. In contrast, a heavier wheel which moves less will not absorb as much vibration; the irregularities of the road surface will transfer to the cabin through the geometry of the suspension and hence ride quality is deteriorated. High unsprung weight also exacerbates wheel control under hard acceleration or braking.

Oh right, i get you.
how did you not roll it!
This car is a great example of attention to detail!
love it lol

Its completely wrong, that one has independant rear suspension :p.

15 x 6.5 or 15 x 7 - don't think they're much (if any...) heavier than the Superleggera's:
Go rarerims.co.uk > Wheels > Lightweight Range
A 15 x 6.5" Rota Slipstream wheel is 5.39kg. £350 for a set too... :thumb:
