Courage also shares his visit to HRE Wheels, where he got a behind-the-scenes look at how high-end performance wheels are manufactured and engineered. The conversation gets into wheel design, structural strength, wider tires, track setups, tire wear, wheel offset, and why some aftermarket wheels completely transform a car while others just don’t work.
They also talk about Courage’s Hyundai Elantra N, Chris’ Nissan Z, selling factory wheels, choosing the right aftermarket setup, and whether changing wheels is really worth the money.
If you’re into car mods, aftermarket wheels, performance upgrades, wheel fitment, modified cars, Hyundai Elantra N, Nissan Z, track cars, or automotive culture, this episode is for you.
