(PS Really nice work on your build, you're rather further on than me biggrin)
Thanks. Yours is coming along nicely too. You haven't considered Avons?
Considered it but you're talking about having *one* tyre available from *one* make at twice the price of a similar width in a larger rim size. Get a puncture on a road trip and you're looking at a 2 day wait while someone ships one out or a trip back home on a low-loader etc. One choice of compounds etc.

I'm still yet to buy wheels but as mine is not a nice original style monocoque like yours but rather a spaceframe I'm not quite under the same pressure to go totally original so I'm currently looking to go BRM style 17in front and 18in rear.

Anyway back on topic this was posted on another thread http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/...
