Of course it turns well. I should have been more specific. What I meant to say is pleasure in going down a twisty road. My C7Z07 with Z07 package turned out far higher Gs than my little JCW mini did, but the Mini was so much more rewarding.

Some great stuff coming from new owners regarding the wheels. Unfortunately to remove the long aero covers you need to remove the wheels as they are held on by wire clips at the back but no holes. Definitely a better look IMO.

Am I alone in liking the stock Performance wheels? I thought they looked good enough in photos, but I really liked them in person…maybe it’s just me

The wheels are fine. Them being 20” is not fine. The 19” ones in China are great
Not this much. It shows 1.2G acceleratuing and braking which is normal for a Plaid on good tires.
In corners the sustained G's are 1.2G. The peaks at 1.6G are really short and not "real" load, just sustained for a few tenth during a quick change of direction
Your Z was probably an auto and stock suspension. Because I drove the top hot hatches from Europe/JP (Renault Megane 3 RS 275 CUP, Type R, 147 GTA etc ) for several years and were miles better than a Mini and a M7 Z is miles ahead in all departments including fun.

I actually really like them. But one man's art is another man's garbage.
No. M7 and not a stock suspension. I think we're not going to come to an agreement here and that's ok.
There is another 11.03 @ 123.43 posted from Phoenix. So that's 2 separate 11.03's and an 11.09 but yeah, still no 10
What was the weight of the uberturines wheels?
Are the new wheels really that much lighter?
Yes, the front ones weighing about 50-51 lbs is better than the 55.6 lbs I saw for my Uberturbines. However, those wider back wheels weigh about 54 lbs with the Aero inserts in. That is basically the same as the Uberturbines.
I have some inexpensive 18" and 20" wheels that weigh 46.8 lbs with wheels tires and TPMS sensors. I actually think they will make even the new car quicker. At one point I had very light weight tires on the 18" wheels and everything weighed just over 44 lbs. That would have been great to try on the new car but I sold those tires for a more efficient and reliable setup.
2021 Uberturbine Wheel Weight
So the actual rim weighs 32lbs TSV 20" Tesla Model 3 Wheel (Set of 4) - T Sportline - Tesla Model S, 3, X & Y Accessories And T-Sportline version weighs 35lbs I don't understand how T-Sportline's Flow Forged replica rims weigh more than the actual Uberturbines? I thought they were suppose...
