Prep for Sprinting - petty, aero, wheels, tyres

[Ted27]

Hi

Newby getting ready to do some sprinting next year so on my shopping list are;

4) Second set of 13" wheels (pref. minilite style in good condition) 

5) Set of suitable tyres, I like the Toyo R888s, think I'll need front and back same size. Probably buy new and race my existing ones

DONE -

1) Petty Strut for S3, imperial, FIA (single diagonal) with bolts but now need homologation sticker 

2) Done - Suitable aero screen interchangeable with standard screen - I have a Carbon Aero ready to roll and new side mirrors.

3) Done - pair 5.75" black head lights to replace 7". Also fitted lowered brackets.

Wheels need to be mechanically sound and reasonable nick

Budget is limited but any help is appreciated!

If you fit the smaller headlights, don't forget to turn them through 180 degrees to get the full aero benefit.

Genius.....why didn't I think of that!

I have four black minilites style wheels. All are 6inch X 13 inch. I don't have wheel centres. Currently the tyres on them are AO21's but they are not road legal, the tread is touching the limit marks, so only good for track days or similar. Would take £180 for them if you are interested? If not I wish you well in your search and your sprinting. Best regards,, Sam (based near junction 12 of M40 Leamington Spa)

Thanks Sallen43. I am interested as a second set of wheels. Do you have any pics so I can see what I am considering? Are the wheels in reasonable nick and straight? I work up in Hinckley during most weeks so picking them up wouldn't be a problem if they are ok.
