Inspired by CoffeeBoss, purchased from Goodwin Racing for far less than the locals could offer. Still can't get even close to Phil's times.

:D And lighter wheels that must be worth 4 seconds a lap, atleast, maybe more. Tyre & rim = 16.76kg.

Guy, if they have a lunch break on Sunday I'll take you for a run and show you where to make up time.

17x7.5 with 50 offset running 205/45s

Will be running 225s when tyres are worn. It will be more flush I think. But no guard rolling or scrubs. :D

U can also look at the Volk re30. That would be the lightest rim on the market right now. Not sure about the price, but a rough guess would be north of 3000 landed. But you know it's super rare :D
