Wheel Question

[Chassis 33]

Hi folks, is anyone running a 235/620/17 slick? The Dunlop site reckons a 9" rim is best for this tyre. Problem is finding a 9" wide 17" dia rim, Compomotive only go to a 8" rim for example. Any bright ideas?

5 stud conversion then a set of raceline RL7 ex cerbie 4.5 wheels. I know where there's a set

Cheers Joolz. I've managed to track down two manufacturers who can do 9x17's and openly admit it! Rial and ATS, any one any experience or comments on either, both claim motorsport pedigree and all that nonsense, but I've not heard of either?

build them up out of compo split rim

I have two sets and spares (total 10) with unused wets of the Cerb 17x8 speedlines, all sitting at the back of the garage. The slicks are used but there's enough on them to get out and the wets are unused. All are 210s, they get under the front and back arches.

Cheap and strong alternative to buying 10 wheels and tyres!

Make me an offer, I need the space having now acquired a modified frogeye and 12 wheels with that, on top of all the Cerb stuff that isn't in the lorry!

Mrs Wilson would be pleased to see the back of them.

Thanks for the offers of Cerbie wheels, unfortunately they won't save me much cash, as I'll have to do a 5 stud conversion and the cost of hubs, rotors etc, would put me back to pretty much where I started!

Hi Ian, Team Dynamics made mine for the taz, no problems and very light!!!

Does this mean you are going racing?

Jonny, Hi if your interested a mate of mine also races a frogeye. built it himself from a shell I thought was only good for scrapping, and it won first time out...

Anything you need to know I can put you in touch...

Sam, what width where they 17" on the Taz? And yes I'll be out, probably not this season, the back is still giving me grief, but I'm at the point I can start working one the car and not be laid up the following day, so that's a bonus.

Graham, thanks I'll take you up on that. It's a great, massivly modified car that needs rewiring etc. So a bit of advice would be great! Cheers John

Dom is def your man then... Are you planning on taking it to the mg event at silverstone?

[JonnyW]

Graham, the plan is to race next year at that and to do as many two man races as possible in between, this is also the sense behind the more robust Cerb engine so that we can start to do some of the two driver events. What seems to work is the lack of conflict of the MIdget races with the TVR and GT Cup so will be out in September, apart from a few track days!!! Cheers John

Hi Ian,
I am working in China at present so dont think i spend all eve on a computer!!!! My wheels were 16x8 and 17x8. I ran slicks that were supposed to go on 9s and had no worries. Cant remember the sizes, phil dicky has the car at present and still has last seasons rubber i think!!!
Hope this is of help.

All the best
Sam

Sorry to butt in to this thread but TT Tim steered me towards it as I'm trying to get hold of a single Raceline RL7 17" wheel for my 4.5 Cerb to complete a spare set with wet tyres on.

JonnyW are your wheels the same as this? If so I'd be interested in one! I'm also in Kent.

Otherwise trackcar seems to know where there may be a set, although I only need one really.

Cheers,

Simon
