Wheels for BETTER BRAKING performance… but HOW?

Wheels for BETTER BRAKING performance… but HOW?

Posted on by Konig Gfx

When you’re pushing your car hard on track, brake performance isn’t just about the calipers, rotors, and pads. Wheel design can play a role, too. The shape and openness of a wheel can influence how air moves through the wheel and around the brake assembly, helping dissipate the intense heat generated during hard braking.

In this episode of KONIG WheelTech, we break down how wheel design affects brake airflow, why brake cooling matters, and how choosing a wheel with better airflow can help keep your brakes performing when temperatures climb.

In this episode of KONIG #WheelTech, we break down how wheel design affects brake airflow, why brake cooling matters, and how choosing a wheel with better airflow can help keep your brakes performing when temperatures climb.

In this video:

How braking generates extreme heat
How wheel design affects airflow around the brakes
Why brake cooling is important for track driving
How open vs. restrictive wheel designs can change airflow
Why better airflow can help maintain brake performance
What to consider when choosing wheels for performance driving
More airflow = better brake cooling = more consistent braking performance

BTW PODCAST – #WHEELWEDNESDAY – BIG BRAKE KIT TEMPLATES?!

Posted on by Konig Gfx

On this week’s Behind The Wheel “Wheel Wednesday” podcast, Vice President, Scott and Marketing Coordinator, Jared talk talk about all things wheel fitment in relation to big brake kits. Race season is starting back up again on the East Coast, and with many racers upgrading their brakes during the off-season, Scott and Jared went live to break down the three best ways to measure brake kits and determine caliper clearance:

1) Sending us a template (from the brake kit company you purchased from) and having us check for you

2) Filling out and sending in our Brake Measurement Worksheet

3) Using a Contour Gauge / Profile Finder and tracing the shape.

Listen now for all our tips and tricks on brake measurement and caliper clearance! The full audio version is live on iTunes, Spotify and Stitcher right now!
