Wheels and tyres

[noet]

I'm close to finish my SSR600 .

The car has the Freestyle superwide suspension both front an rear. Currently the car has Image splitrim (Billet 4, black center/polished rim), 15" with Avon 245 rear 195 in front. Considering going on 13" with Khumo 235 rear 215 in front. The power from the Duratec is massive 303bhp,- so best possible traction and handling is a priorety. Why do CSR have 15" while R500 have 13"? If you race the CSR, do you change to 13"?

If I decide to go for 13" I will propably choose among Image,MB or Rial. Appreciate wiews from BC regarding quality and finish. (prize tag is not the issue)

Hi,

 

I've got both MB and Rial in 13" and much prefer the Rials. Although they have a very slight weight penalty (and it is minimal) over MBs, IMO they are in a different world with regards to quality and much more durable.

 

Cheers

I have just got a set of the 3 piece wheels from Simon at 7 tips

 

linky

 

and I have to say they are very good, with great service and a reasonable saving over the other 3 pieces

 

look great and are very light

 

also i have some brand new 235 kumhos for sale if interested - they are the soft compound (all the better to get the power down ), drop me an email off line if interested...

I picked up those 7Tips wheels at the motorsport show at the NEC and my God! They are light. I wish I could have bought them!

 

Why not give the 15s a go to start with? See how you get on?

 

Anyway, TTIUWP!!!
