New wheels

[TuxMan]

Big thanks to Matt at Jetstream Motorsport for sorting out my new compomotives , he has had a lot of hastle but its been well worth it !! Finish is great and I love the black gloss finish .









Saved some weight too , fronts now weigh 20kg and rears 22kg , fitted with Michelin pilot cups .

looking very nice

did you have trouble with offsets and clearing the brakes ?

[TuxMan]

No mate Matt had them all re designed to give better clearance so the big brake kit will fit ok !! Std wheels are very very close !!!

Looks really nice with black wheels against the green, in the first photo it does look as though they sit outside of the arch or is it just the angle of the photo.

Hi Nebby , top edge is in line with body , i run different lower wishbones that widen the stance at the bottom for better stability and the ability to run more camber without trapping the driveshaft .

[Nebby]

Ah ok, probably just a close photo looks absolutely fine and very very nice in the bottom photo

Class, they look superb lovely finish too.

[Hollowpockets]

Very nice, finishes the car off well!

Tyres are cool too....which makes them faster of course!

Are those front discs bigger as well as having that race car design? I like them even more now...

Car looks great and ready to go Si!

Imagine it stops incredibly well. Do they ever lock up?

Have you been on track with the Michelins? Interested to know how predictable they are. I think tyres plus better brakes would transform mine on track. No need to more power yet.

Good choice you copying me lol

[TuxMan]

You carbon dip boys must be giving Chappers heart failure

Scooby , I've done 1 track day so far and they felt great , take a bit longer to warm up than my 888 but they are much quieter , brakes are epic , big step forward mainly because of the lack of vibration but more power too , no locking yet but still building speed on the new tyres . Back at Silverstone next week so should know more after that .
