Tegiwa's Type-R Track Car Featuring 19" EC-7 Wheels
Tegiwa, authorized dealer for APEX, recently track tested our 19×9.5″ ET43 EC-7 wheels on their Type R at Silverstone Circuit raceway located in the UK. Here are a couple of photos with the wheels and tires freshly mounted for the track day in the uber nice garages of Silverstone. The 19×9.5″ ET43 is an aggressive fitment that allows you to run 265 tires at all corners without any fender work or spacers. Tegiwa did not encounter any scrubbing on hard cornering during their testing. Seen below, this FK8 currently runs the stock suspension and factory Brembo brakes with this fully rotatable square setup.
