Yeah, I've wanted some for a while mate

Aren't 15" 2118's actually heavier than 16" Turinis?

Suppose the tyres are MUCH cheaper though.

I don't think there's a lot in it, but yeah, the 16" Turinis are a bit lighter than the 15" 2118's I think

Christopher · Feb 27, 2011

LOL, thought so. At least the tyres are literally half the cost!

oliver.james · Feb 27, 2011

AD08's for £70 a corner! :approve:

Having said that, 15" OZ Ultra's etc would be the same cheap tyres and much lighter. I personally just love the look of the 2118's

nick. · Feb 27, 2011

Looks spot on as per usual. Like 2118's as too the turinis. think it looks more track focused now though.

Not much in it. TBH Me wonky stripped bandit, and Tim didn't find the 2118s that heavy considering all the weight speculation. Obviously a lot lighter 15'' wheels are available.

I had to be careful what 15'' wheels I went for also, as I didn't want the 4 pot calipers running fowl of the wheels. 195/50/15 Hankook RS2 £53 205/45/16 £85 :approve:

Cheers Nick. The track focused look is the route I want to go down now, as it's just a weekend toy!

Better before. Hateful wheels. Nice steering wheel though. Never seen a better prep'd car for track, that hasn't been on one!

IIRC your clio 200 has the standard wheels, so your opinion on wheel choice is null and void IMO.

I don't believe for one minute that it's the best car for track, that hasn't been on track! Besides I would have tracked it years ago if It wasn't mine and the GFs daily driver, now we have the VRS it's good to go

ForceIndia · Feb 27, 2011

I've had some great wheels on the 1*2's sunshine, so you're void

Fletcher · Feb 27, 2011

-J- · Feb 27, 2011

Looks Great, I can understand the 15's (Mucho Cheap Tyres) but have to side with a few of the others and say I preferred the old Turinis (Although I am Bias)

I do like the turinis J. It will be a sad day when/If I sell them

His 2118s didn't feel much different in weight to my 15" OZ F1s ( both without tyres).

I've probably given Fletch more stick than anyone about that but he had valid reasons. Its going on track soon though which I'm looking forward to seeing in my mirrors.

Yeah, yeah

Oh and thanks for the lift back from Portsmouth yesterday mate

Mr Pants · Feb 28, 2011

Looks cracking mate! Want the wheel too. What size is that wheel? Looks quite big in the pic but I'm guessing it's a lot better to use / size wise than the standard bus wheel?

330mm from memory. It's tiny compaired to the huge standard wheel, much more responsive, I am very impressed with it.

Mr Pants · Feb 28, 2011

Awesome. Yeah I need a smaller steering wheel. I've got stupid girly small hands as it is, not that easy driving the thing at times lol!

Was thinking either one of these Sabelt ones as they look mean (but will probably look shite after a few months) or a smaller 300m OMP one for pure rally-esque fun haha.

Gally · Feb 28, 2011

Perfect mate although the tow eye is ghey!

I love these wheel, combined with no fogs makes it work so well.

The tow eye is stuck fast/rusted in fella, even if I wanted to remove it I couldn't

Revels · Feb 28, 2011

Looking good, Fletch.

When is it losing it's track virginity?

Well I am doing Castle Combe action day, track time that's only 5 laps! First proper track day will hopefully be a Renault Sport trackday at either Silverstone, or Brands Hatch.

Thanks Budgie

Should be a hoot on track tho, as said above, it's set up pretty well for it!

Mines was like that, huge bar and it will shift, kind of bends it though

That's what worries me, as it's a genuine cup racer tow eye, not one of Si's ghetto tow eyes :rasp:
