Its offical...I have too much time on my hands

[chrispy.clio]

Finished work early so thought i'd be very sad and paint the TOYO R888 on my track tyres.
I do know that all my effort was pointless as it will get scrubbed off next friday when on track, but there ya go.
What do people think? i'l put the wheels/tyres on the car next week and take another picture. Hoping it will look good

 

[DrR]

Looks mint!

 

[leeds_182]

Looks good.

 

[kyle_sxi]

very nice dont take them out in the rain and ice though lmao

 

[Guppy]

undecided if im honest..

Perhaps silver would of contrasted better with the colour of your car

 

[jim cook]

Good work

 

[chrispy.clio]

I am expecting some people liking and some not.
It looks even better in real life

 

[Mr Burns]

Pics on the car??

 

[guysy]

Looks good.

 

[clio_luke]

[Jordi17]

[SkidMarx]

[Fletcher]

Liking that!

 

[Jamie]

Looks great, what did you paint them with?

Are they 16" F1's to?

 

[chrispy.clio]

I just washed the wheels and tyres and used a Tyre pen from halfrauds. cost me £6 which is quite expensive but it kept me occupied for a few hours.
I just finished them off with tyre shine stuff.
They are 15" F1's with 195/50/r15 Toyo R888 tyres

 

[Bluebeard]

That looks awesome!

 

[wiley]

looking good buddy

 

[Amy]

Liking that.
Lol at the people who say it won't match with the car...er they're track wheels, does it really matter.

[Christopher]

That looks f*cking epic!!

 

[gaz_5103]

I was thinkin of doing this with my road tyres, undecided, can it be taken off if i dont like?

 

[DannyR]

I was thinking of doing this with my R888's but thought would look s**t and tacky!

I disagree with my previous thoughts and will be doing mine too!

And the R888's are really not that bad in wet weather!

 

[jamie.91]

loving that for sure

jamie

 

[Tigger]

I like them - amazing what boredom can stirke you with these days lol

 

[Hugo-]

Loving them!

The writing looks good, but to put tyre shine on track tyres is a f***ing stupid thing to do.

Either get it cleaned off, or stay away from everyone else for your first few sessions on track.

 

[Jonny1*2]

I quite like that. What paint did you use?

I did think that when i was putting it on. But then i thought i'l probably put them on at home and i have a 60mile drive to the track. The stuff i use isnt really that good and comes off really easy so i suspect it will come off on the drive there.

 

[MarkCup]

It wont, trust me.

Unless you drive on the road like you do on track it'll be on the edges of the tread and you'll only discover it when you first lean on the tyres on track.

I lent my wheels and track tyres to someone on here while they were getting their standard alloys refurbed...and they put that slick s**t all over them.

I got them back and headed for the track....I thought the same as you...but on my first session I was all over the place.

 

[M8XY G]

i think it looks great

 

[chrispy.clio]

Oh ok, well thanks for the heads up. I'l rub the stuff off before i put them on.
Live and learn i suppose.
When i end up getting new tyres i'l stay away from the tyre shine stuff

Use washing up liquid and water and properly clean it off...that's what I did to what was left after my track outing...the only safe way to get it all off IMO.
