Vance;
Some folks are using Konig rewinds because they look so similar to
Panasport FS/FZ wheels (at less than half the cost), then mounting
them with 16" tires. I'm NOT certain of this but, I believe,
Panasports have a +4 offset while Konig Rewinds have a zero offset.
Would you think that small offset difference account for someone's Six
having bump steer issues or is that more because of wide profile tires?
