Track Wheels

[.Stevo.C.]

Just a quick question. Are steel wheels fine for track use? Got the chance of 4 Valver/Williams spare steel wheels.

 

[Gaz.]

Yeah, but they'll be bloody heavy compared to alloys.

The less they weigh, the better really on a track.

Yes they will be fine, and although as mentioned above they are quite heavy in fact they still weigh less than some alloys do ironically, lol

One other thing they tend to be rubbish at though, is brake cooling as they cover the brakes in so much.

They don't weigh that much surprisingly. Less than my valver wheels I've got.

Tbh Chip it won't be full on hard track work I will be doing lucky if I do knockhill twice this year. They will be fine for easyish track use nah?

Yes mate, the wheels will be fine, just the brakes getting hot you need to think about, but then valver wheels are brilliant for brake cooling either.

Ok mate I'll keep an eye on the brakes. Cheers for that.

Wish I lived closer to knockhill, great track but its easier for me to get to the ring, lol

Lol I would love to go to the ring looks awesome. This will be my first time on knockhill this year really looking forward to it especially as I have the car setup just how I want it suspension wise.
