wheels and tires advice needed...



  Trafic 140dci
my original plan was to buy some cheap rims and put some toyo p888's on for track day use, but i got offered a set of turini's off a clio 182 trophy in mint condition with nearly new tires on too for the right price ;)

trouble is, the tires are too no good for track use, but too good to bin, and the rims are pukka so i dont want to risk trashing them on track days.

so what do you guys recon i should do, how much are these rims worth to sell? maybe park ex them with someone?

any comments and help wellcome :)

Well, you really want to be running 15s on track, this means tryes are a decent bit cheaper.

As for the Turinis, if you can get a hold of them cheap, buy them clean then up sell them on.

As for ruining wheels on track. You dont reall damage your wheels unless you hit big curbs ect, So buy some decent lightweight 15s for track it will make a big differance over chep nasty heavy wheels.

Sell them on here/Ebay and find some lightweight 15 inch wheels for track.

looking at getting some 15's for my car for on the track, aren't clio 182's et45? will having et38 rims upset the handling?

I'm running 15" ET37 and 205/50R15 tyres, I can't say I've noticed any ill effects on the handling.

If your worried about trashing your rims, DONT go on a track day. All it takes id for one person to side swipe you and your cars fooked.

When i had my track car, It went round balls out, if i didnt smash it up, it was a bonus.

All that aside, Get Proxes R888 or Yoko A048 if you spend more.

Ideally for me, another set of wheels, with Wet only track tyres too.
