Diablo 6.0 tyre/ wheel queries

[Craig]

Hi

You'll be glad to know I have decided to hang on to the Diablo for a while longer so have taken it off the market.

However, I need to get a new front tyre for it - a P Zero 235/35 ZR18.

Where is the best place to get these from?

On the web I could only find it through tyre-shopper (who?!) for £200.

Also I assume its OK to change it on one axle only (I have a cut in the tyre wall). The other front tyre has plenty of tread.

Second question - if anyone has had their alloys re-furbed who did you use?

thanks for any help

I had all 4 wheels refurbished this week by www.reinventingthewheel.co.uk who are in Tewkesbury junction 9 of the M5. The total for all 4 wheels was £299. I dropped the Diablo off late Tuesday and collected it first thing Thursday morning. They have made an excellent job of them and it was hassle free.

Hi Craig

good to hear that.

how are you

Try 01392 444403 alltyres in exeter. they got mine for about 130 ish. they will probably send them. You should change both fronts together, if you are really stuck i have two newies for mine in the garage.

thanks Jon - will give them a try

thanks Jan for the refurb contact although a bit far from me unfortunately (I'm in Berkshire)

I think Jonny5 had his done at Lepsons so may try them

I did however Jen subsequently had a problem where they'd painted into the wheel nut holes.... A wheel came off as they weren't sufficiently torqued

but, apart from that, they were ok ?

service (collection and delivery) was great, end product looked good .

Hi! Wish I still had mine, especially as things have picked up and skintness is a few inches further away than it was 6 months ago..

Sold mine private and part of the deal was that I would supply the new replacement Pirreli's when they came into my tyre chap as they had been on order for a few months and where iminent..Took another six months or so and they have finally landed last week, apparently Pirreli don't make them that often so if you can get hold get hold! Christ knows what happens if you need em in a hurry (puncture)

Hi J..., I know I was very lucky to get a great car, I have taken her out for a run today, sounded fantastic....always gets your blood flowing..looking forward to getting the tyres, like you say very hard to obtain, I phoned Lambo Brum and they could not get any???? anyway you can always buy her back you know, see you soon.

Ultima use the same tyres and tend to carry stock.

Bloody Jonny Finance for selling the Diablo! Was a great car for getting in and out when I had a broken arm!

[rod x lambo]

a bit of topic but i am looking to buy a set of six litre wheels and tyres must be original if any one knows of any thanks

try motorsport wheels - mswuk - they supplied a friend's lambo tyres - though there is a long lead time IIRC.
