The T-car modified wheels thread.

[Don1]

I swap the 18's between the Sag and the Tamora, so it should be OK? (Caveat - I'm not the most technical on here... ).

I'll keep an eye out for you - I'm round the Farnham area of Hants though.

[notax]

Thanks, do you happen to have any photos of the Tamora fitted with those wheels? And ideally with the alternative wheels - which I guess would be your Jade R's? Which do you think better suit the car?

[Don1]

Against all we know, I honestly think that the Sag rides better on the Jade-Rs - the steering is much more direct, and it just feels better. We think it's down to the weight of the wheel making the suspension (and steering box) work harder.

The downsides are it accelerates a lot slower (noticeably), poor choice in tyres and that's about it.

Pics of the SP12 here....

Well chuffed with these new wheels. Right weight, right off set front and rear which has made the handling way way better.

[Don1]

Nice, what are they?

[Laser Sag]

Look like a set of Rotas to me, good wheels, had a set of the Rota Torques on the Sag which we're nice and light as well as strong.

Rota Boost...

[blackiepaul]

Hello,

Yes, Rota Boost (they look better clean). 10" and 9" the same off set that Craing Winstanley ran on his race Sag (graham varley now has them and likes them as well). Made a big difference, the AD08 tyres seem to be very good as well, great in the wet yesterday at the Isle of Mann.

Hi Paul - they look great - good to hear they ride well too - can you tell us what the offsets are please ? I presume they're 18's aswell ?

Cheers

[geeeman]

maybe minilite style wheels would suit?

Hi Clive, Look nice to me, are they strong and light enough and can you get them in the right offset?

[clive f]

not in a position to make serious enquiries yet, wheels are on my to do list, but maybe next winter.

[tail slide]

Image Wheels, Wolverhampton, custom made in every dimension. Useful as the optimum never seems to be 'standard off the shelf'

[m4tti]

Any know what these wheels are...

[Don1]

'Expensive'

Seriously though, I'm fairly sure they were Racing Dynamics and the cost of having them re-done is INSANE.

[m4tti]

Dam. First wheel I've seen I really like. It's like an evolution of the spider.

Yours are the dogs but we cant get these can we? Didn't you have the last proper set?

Nope, I had the last set and the supplier was Vogue International. I was told by Lee at Vogue that he supplied the factory with about 80 sets as they were supposed to be the Sagaris 2 wheels (they were on the first rear facing exhaust silver car).

80 Sets!!! Where are they? I do like these. Sharper looking than the Power/Jade R ones. I wish Team Dynamics would build some more button forged ones like the Candy Apple press car. They were really smooth and much classier looking than Spiders. Paul Black and I enquired a year or so ago but they're not interested in doing short runs. Pity.

I bet somewhere out there now could replicate these for a reasonable cost,
