****ing wheels again, some ideas :/
Discussion
Hey guys
Again looking at wheel options for the Noble as we don't really have much choice at the mo. Here's what I've found so far.
Team dynamics will make us the pro-race 1.2 front and 1.3 rears to fit, possibly other styles (circa £932 a set) prob the same weight as standard or current options
Image wheels can make us any of their billet or cast range, custom made to order 6 weeks lead time. (circa £2500 a set for the nice billet 102's) price drops 10% if 2 sets ordered then more if 3 and so on. Lighter than current wheels and probably much stronger
HRE have said they will make individual sets of there C100,C103 or C109 forged wheels range in our fitment which are very light wheels (circa £4936 per set -HA-HAaaa ooooo kayyyyy)
The C103
The C109
Forge line in the USA have said they can also do their GA1R/3R wheel in our sizes confirmed £4100 plus shipping,very strong and light wheel, looks great but still expensive. Lol
My personal favourite... GA1R -
Here's where things get interesting and cheaper again....…
Speedline have said for similar price as last time they will make a batch of wheels minimum 6 sets but rather than the current options they might be able to come up with a slightly different design for us and do drawings if we pass on ideas, I'm thinking similar to the style we bought 2 years ago but put some dish on the wheel and make it look more purposeful, either that or go for a 6/8 spoke style like what Compomotive did.
Just fishing for ideas and that's what I've found at the moment. I'll add links to the wheels tomorrow but don't be lazy, google and check them out. If others are interested in a wheel above let me know and I'll see if we can get discount. I've already sent my man back to forge line and HRE to see what can be done on prices/shipping.
Cheers

We used to use the Image wheels a lot on the Caterham's/Westfield, the Caterham factory magnesium wheels were a fraction lighter but they used to crack if you were heavy on the curbs on track
Having said the Image wheels are expensive I say go for a cheeper option then you can buy more wheels and have more selection from your used slicks.
We used Compermotice CXR's and they were awesome, but they don't make them in a 18".

Don't tease, I'm getting nowhere and quite upset that if can only get what I want for about £4k. Lol
Not sure there is an easy answer (otherwise you would already have found it). Simple equation is Strong +Light= Expensive. The Dymags were over £5K and that was 6 yrs ago. If there is one area of the car you do not want additional kilos it is on unsprung weight.Gassing Station | Noble | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
