Wheels

6 Mar 2007, 12:32pm
Have a look on the Demon Tweeks website.

Pretty sure I've seen very similar on there.

Simple answer is to ask me, as they're mine...... and no I won't tell you, cos then you'll have the same as me!!! :noidea: :icon_wink:

Team dynamics pro-race 2, 15x7 et38. I got them from Halfords as they were on special at the time - £340 for 4 wheels, and Toyo Proxes. Now back up at £499 with some budget, remould-esk, poor attempt at tyres, fitted.

Mike,

If your looking for those wheels, in black I can see what price I could get you a set for, just need to now what offset and rim width you require, they will come without tyres but at trade price direct from team dynamics motorsport, if your interested I could get a price for you.

I've taken a bit of a gamble, and bought the wheels without checking them with the bodywork, so I don't know at the moment.

My bodywork is *meant* to be arriving this month, so if you can wait, I'll let you know once I've had time to offer up the clams.

If they do stick out, then I'll set about modifying the bodywork, cos 195 really isn't overly wide, and ideally I'd like more rubber on the back.

pm me if you would like to now more.

Jon - I'm not sure, what size. My loose plan is to get it SVA'd on 195/50/15, and then if I find deficiencies in the car (other than the "nut" that holds the steering wheel) I'll start playing. I can't imagine 195 front and rear is ideal though, hence the comment.
6 Mar 2007, 6:36pm
yeh sounds a good idea, once you have the sva over you can do what you like. 195 front might be ok not sure really, our tyre sizes are the same as the new faclifted version of the S2000, which ive been told should work better, butill let you now.
