Silverstone SP12s
Discussion
There's a couple of pics of them on this one http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/sales/3311489.h...
Just for info, I had SP12's on my Mk1 Tuscan.
I was forced into the kerb one day by a guy trying to take a photo.
I was surprised that the front offside didnt buckle.
I later wrote off that Tuscan but again the SP's survived and are now on my Mk2 Tuscan.
Its all a matter of taste and I get plenty of negative comments off the Tuscan crowd but its my choice.

Again! Ta for the link.
Wasn't there a thread on here last year before SP closed about an alternative source for the wheels from the people who made them?
IIRC there were some arguements about it at the time.
I tried searching for the thread but couldn't find it.
It might be wortwhile adding the info to this thread, or even the equivalent parts thread, now that they are no longer available and they do look great on the Cerb, don't they?

You're a gent, cheers. Liking that a lot. Have you noticed any improvements is ride or handling at all?
As it looks like you are running 18s already you should notice very little difference. They are relatively light weight and strong. On faster roads and a good surface I found the combination excellent. I've actually gone back to RL17s for their better handling on poorer roads - but I am an old git.Ireland said:

These are my track wheels, 8.5x17 on the front, i can get a 235/40-17 on that and they steer much nicer than 18".
The rear are 10x18", 18" has lots of modern choices in a 265.
They look great. I've not thought of having smaller fronts, advantages are in steering? I need the whole set up looked at really, car bounces around all over the place with the slightest ripples. Seems to have no suspension travel or damping at all, and the steering feels rather vague and heavy.The rear are 10x18", 18" has lots of modern choices in a 265.
