Original is best but if your happy then im happy for ya.


172CUP should = light weight

 

[royst]

get the std wheels mate,imo they make the 172 cup

 

[MarkCup]

If you take it on track with those wheels the brakes will overheat (common problem with hard driven 182's)...the standard Turini's give much better venting.

Your old Fiesta looks nice though...what's the spec on that?

 

[Fletcher]

Yep i thought that! you been looking for 182's as well mate? lol

Yes mate.

My MK2 172 is now on just under 60k and i think it's time i changed to either a clio trophy, or FF 182

 

[172rich]

I Like these wheels so not going to change them, will never go on track as im building something else for that.

The fiesta is a 340bhp rear wheel drive Cosworth rally car, a lot of fun lol

Coulpe of pics of it
