Wheels/Tyres
6Jx14 5-spoke alloy wheels, 185/60R14 tyres

The tyres seem puny 185/60/14.....same size as Proton Wira, must be the only visible common part between the Proton & Atom.

the atom is a barely road legal trackday car. not quite as practical as the elise/exige, and not quite as hardcore as the radical. looks pretty nifty, tho.
