Grr why is it so hard to be different? Oh yeah, this world only caters for averages.

Azev A's or C's 8x17 = 225/45 tyres.

Or

Azev M's 7.5x17 = 215/45 tyres.

A's/C's look better but are going to compromise straightline speed and acceleration. M's will come with a rim that will keep the face of the wheel safe from curbs, but look less exciting, imo.

What would you do? Safe and fast or looks?

Standard, with a 225/45-16 Toyo T1-S.

oz record wheels with toyo t1 R's

Last thing I want to do is copy you Luke! Imagine the abuse I'd be in for? (I thought you had type M's as well, so had to check a pic of you car before considering them )

My current wheels are as light as you can get, with 205/40's. Whatever I get they're going to be heavier, wider with a larger circumference. I'm going to add a full second onto my 1/4 mile time.

MK council has a lot to answer for for cracking my irreplaceable left front.

I think I'm going to cry...

just fromur wheels being heavier?? 1 second? didnt realise there was that much in it .

you could always shed the extra weight u gain by new wheels by maybe taking back seats out ??? lol

An estimate. It's worse than that in my mind.

When I put my current Pro Race 1's on I lobbed 0.5 secs off my 40-100 in 3rd gear test, just from 0.2" smaller circumference and 7.8Kg weight saving over standard.

I reckon Azev A's (first choice purely because I know of no other Coop that has them) will be at least 0.5Kg heavier per wheel.

I need someone like barnacle to do the Maths for me.

If it's light wheels you want, why not look into Compomotives?

Or OZ Superleggera's?

how did you measured that 0.5second ?
with some g-tech or just by looking your board and using clock ?
if you chance your tires "smaller", ( not only by size ) doesnt your speedo show already little wrong ( too much ? )
if its measured by g-tech, I believe.
example : I have g-tech pro RR and I have used that to measure my cars power/ torque. funny thing is that it always show me
+ - 5kw same as the real dyno ! good to measure, when do some little chances and want to know the difference.

Errr wrong! Have had them on now for over 3 years Im not alone too a few others have them on now.

Oh right. Ah well, they won;t be the same colour.

Are they 17"s? And how much to they weigh?

Dont know how much they weigh but alot heavier than standard. They are 17's.

What wheels do you have? Pro Race 1's? I know they no longer make them but I was able to source a replacement wheel through balance motorsport when I got a crack in one of mine. That was about 6 months ago.

You could always tilt your seat back to make up for it WF!

any pics luke ?

Interesting. TD wanted to charge me a silly price. I'd need to get them painted too.

Ooooh £1660 for a set of Magnesium wheels... someone hold me down!

Yeah thats the place. I can't remember the name of the guy I spoke to though. I had to pay ~£180 for the 1 wheel

Different would be type A in 18",you would have to shave the brembos to have them fitted.
