To PJH question about flexing rims: According to a Swedish Magaine testing on the racetrack at Anderstorp, together with the KTM X-bow and Mazda MX-5 the rims flexed and rubbed against the fenders at heavy cornering. The back end was easy to steer to a moderate overstear with throttle control.
By the way - the Three-wheeler came out as number ONE in the test.
