Photos - my new wheels

[The Red Baron]

Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s. Fronts (Thanks SiliconKid) 17" x 7.5" with Falken 452 215/40/17 at 24psi. Rears 18" x 8" with Falken 452 245/35/18 at 26 psi. These sizes mean the rolling circumference of the wheels are the same as the originals.






And as a comparison...



The ride seems a bit firmer, but the steering seems lighter and perhaps a bit twitchy. Dropping the rear tyre pressures down from the 34psi they came out of the shop with to 26psi made a huge difference. And getting the toe-in and camber sorted helped too.

Overall very happy. Now I've got some old Estorils with tyres for sale....

I'm running Toyo T1R... 215/40 17" @ 24psi on the front 245/35 18" @ 26psi rear

Much lighter than the estorils... Totally transformed the car.

Did you modify the centre cap to fit the rears or as suggested in previous threads cut the end off the hub?

Been running my Griff on SP12s (same wheels) since 2006. No complaints plus they look utterly brilliant. Pic of my car in my members info. Big thumbs up mate.

I was at Surface n Design the other day and they had a Chim in with these wheels. I have to say they definately caught my eye. Very nice n probably look even better in the flesh.
