Wheel model

Fast FC FC09

The FC09 belongs to the competition side of the FC series: a flow-formed wheel advertised as about 20% lighter than an equivalent casting. Its six sharp-spoke design comes with a conical seat and a knurled bead behind the rim edge that grips the tire to limit slippage under acceleration, braking and cornering, a detail appreciated on track. Offered in 17 and 18 inches, often in a metallic gunmetal finish, it's aimed at sport compacts and track-day enthusiasts. Its light weight reduces unsprung mass and directly benefits dynamic behavior. In Quebec, the FC09 is an excellent choice for a performance summer set; it should not be exposed to winter salt. As with any purchase, check the bolt pattern, offset, bore and brake clearance for the intended vehicle.
