That's the only down side to 1.3's they only come in silver so would have to have them colour changed.

Great find, just need to know ET and weight. Still would prefer a 10 spoke over a 12 spoke wheel.Oh and centre bore on 57.1mm

I've heard they are a heavy wheel?


The Pro Race 1.2 is used by the BTCC. It's good enough for them!

Revolution sell Advan wheels, you will need to call the boys up and give them for spec request and they will do the rest

Welcome to the club Glenn,   PG I'd say give Keith a ring there but then you already know the guys there as he mentioned to me he knew you :)

Formula HLT's for mine - wonder if 9" wide and 245's all round would fit....

Call me old fashioned but I like the chunky looking 10 spokes of Advan and Sportec. I knew Glenn did Advan's and could maybe get RS or RZ's but the price is prohibitive for me especially now that I have insurance covering a remap and no remap! It would be rude not to now! Especially as wheels would have to be declared and no doubt an additional charge on the policy assuming of course they insure them.

I doubt they'll work on the back but then you can be our non OEM wheel test pilot now!

235 30 20 Continental sport contact 3s. The ride is fairly hard due to the lowered suspension and lower profile tyres.

By the looks of those rims I definitely won't get away with 8.5Jx19 ET35's. Go on then Glenn, give me a heart attack for a set of Advan RS II 8Jx19 ET 50?

35 offset is way too aggressive

That ride height is spot on with those wheels! 

 

Surprised they don't catch but i can see by your pics its been around the track so obviously been pushed into corners.

 

Has it had any effect on acceleration? or the accuracy of the speedo?

I guess also because it has uprated springs and ARB's there is less compression and rebound to allow the wheels to rub.
