Must admit I prefer the Turini's, but still look nice

A trophy makes any wheels look good!

 

[Adamhodg]

Are they for track purposes or for permantely driving round on?

ROFL - I must buy you a pint mate

You make my laugh.

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

Trackday wheels but I kinda like them so am running them for a bit.

 

[fUbAr]

looks like they're 15's

i like them, and they will obviously have the advantages of being smaller than the "old" ones.

makes a change for someone to buy wheels for function over form, a refreshing change!

 

[Steviant]

Needs lowering!

:rasp:

 

[JD]

There 15's as PE2's were £55 each so roughly £20 - £30 cheaper than 16's each and the wheels are Compomotive TH3's which are motorsport wheels so very strong.

Plus of course being 15's they should be a bit lighter too.

 

[BREMBO]

Not for me, dont see why you would do that :S

 

[fUbAr]

weight, price and strength.

Matt, have a look for Goodyear Eagle F1s... i use them for trackdays and theyre great. Can be had for as little as £35 in 195/50/R15 to.

 

[vavazoom]

they look like cheap rota's!lol
but with some slammedge,and oh some decent tyres by the looks of it!it will look good!

I've run those but find the PE2's to be a better compromise until I get some serious trackday rubber.

 

[Tom]

PE2's are just about the worst tyre you could use on track.

Even the most gentle of drivers can make them start to self destruct.
F1's take a little more abuse but even then eventually they start to go.

 

[brisa4984]

like looking at a model then realising its a shemale.

 

[Graham Gooch]

Dreadful imo.

I choose to disagree as I ran them on my Williams and that handled many a trackday on PE2's but eat F1's in 1.

But you can't beat Toyo 888R's or Yokohama A028R's as trackday tyres IMHO.

 

[Graham Gooch]

Anyone tried Dunlop Direzzas ?

 

[kully]

different ...............

 

[ollie_gozzett]

spiderman phoned, he wants his wheels back

 

[dutty_112]

o nien! for track..yea ok..everyday use..never

 

[GinandGasoline]

hmmmm, from a distance they look like them alloy look wheel trims you buy from Halfords :S

But, as they're track wheels, i'd leave the Turinis on when you're using the car on the road

 

[b3nje]

spiderman phoned, he wants his wheels back

Why would spiderman have wheels?

He can sling webs - he doesn't need a car to go "cruzing" and pull bitches.

He just shows off his gnarley web slinging skills!

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

I quite like the idea of spiderman wheels......

Might call the car spidey.

ROFL

 

[b3nje]

NO!

your wheels have not been bitten by a radioactive spider.

now stop been stupid!

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

But mum you said it was ok to live in fantasy land........

 

[b3nje]

You've been breast fed for too long

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

Oh hush at least I don't drive a hairdressers car.

LOL

 

[Cue]

as a track day wheel they 'tick all the boxes' so fair play. I wouldn't run them with them on road myself as i do think the turini's look better, that's just an opinion though.

Just as a matter of interest, what's the ET of these?

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

There ET 45 so the same as the Turini's.

I'm just running in the PE2's on them and using them as my everyday wheels for a bit as the Turini's are too nice for the weather we've been having.

Company car beeatch

LOL.

are they alloy or magnesium? Am I correct in thinking only Speedline do Magnesium alloys if so ignore that question as i've answered it i guess. lol

There alloy with a high magnesium content allegedly plus there very strong and can bun run with flat tyres (useful on the Ring).

I got them for £300 with Yokohama A048R's so I was pretty happy TBH.
