    Wheels, tyres AND Brakes

    the perfect Forum for this post

    looky! I bought some new 18" ultralite wheels to go over the brembos.... c/w Goodyear GSD3's

    i mocked them up to make sure they fit over the brembos...

    the good news is they do!

    now just gotta make sure they dont foule the wheel arch... but if they do Frost cataloge has a rim roller that will be required....

    This is going to transform the look of the car...

    you will either love it or hate it...

    wheels 8x18 offset 35... tyres 225/40/18 just weighed the whole lot on the scales including balancing weights and its 20kg exactly.

    I'll weigh my original ones when they come off.

    ok I'm off to twiddle.

    Reason I ask is that my 215/45/17 + Enkei RPF1 17x7 combo is 15kg.

    20kg is really light for that size though.
