WELCOME TO FIT CHECK.
We go over EXACTLY what fits your Miata, as well as dive into various options that you can go with to spice things up. We’re talkin’ offset, width, and diameter. We’re giving you a complete range of options depending on the type of fitment you’re looking for.
Also, we’ve got the Miata Experts over at @GoodwinRacing1 to weigh in on their recommendations for going WIIIIIIDE for the track.
Here at KONIG, we’re surrounded by wheels at all times. And like Peanut Butter to the Wheel’s respective Jelly – TIRES go hand in hand with those wheels. With that being said, we thought it might be a good time to find a solution for mounting tires here at our HQ, but upon looking at used tire machines, pricing is quite high – sometimes upwards of $7,000.
Last week, Scott discovered TEMU, and with that, opened Pandora’s box in a sense – finding a KATOOL Tire Mounting Machine for just over $1,200 shipped. Too goo to be true, right? Let’s find out.
In this episode, we assemble the TEMU Tire Machine, and test the machine by mounting a tire to one of our new Forged Wheels – the F6SX. Let’s see how the machine holds up, and whether or not it was worth the money.
COMMENT BELOW if you’ve ever bought anything on TEMU? Did we get lucky with this purchase or were right in thinking we were gonna receive a toy tire machine or scam machine of some kind?
In this Carnatomy episode, we had the opportunity to delve into the intricacies of Formula Drift driver Dan Stuke’s mind numbing Full Carbon Fiber bodied S15 with it’s 900hp 2JZ. The episode offers a candid look at the development and performance of Stuke’s latest drift car.
A cornerstone of the build is its chassis, a meticulously engineered true Spec R S15 chassis designed to withstand the extreme demands of professional drifting. To complement the chassis, Stuke has opted for Konig’s NeoForm flow formed wheels in 18×9.5 et25, renowned for their strength, lightweight construction, and exceptional styling. This combination of advanced chassis technology and premium wheel components is a testament to Stuke’s commitment to performance and durability.
The car’s powertrain is equally impressive. At full chat, his 2JZ build is capable of 900HP+, but due to EnglishTown’s smaller track size he’s got it tuned down to the mid 600HP range. Basically, just enough to get around while still being lively. Fair to say, that in itself is a discussion worth having with Stuke, understanding when to go up and down in tuning maps to suite track needs and wants.
Stuke’s enthusiasm for the car is palpable throughout the episode. The new chassis offers significantly improved handling and stability compared to its predecessor, allowing for greater confidence and precision on the track.
To gain deeper insights into the build process and performance characteristics of Dan Stuke’s drift car, we encourage you to watch the full Carnatomy episode and drop your questions into the comments.
