Once the offsets have been confirmed then you'll have a clearer picture of options.

Count me in please.

The colour I am told is Anthracite but it will be the same colour as the image on page 1. That is a photo of the wheel as sent. Offsets are already confirmed. Tyr sizes would be 195 45 16 front and 225 40 17 rear.

[VXT Tim]

Love the colour in the picture. I certainly wouldn't call it anthracite though.

I agree: Shall we call it Silver Pearl Matallic?

[Phear]

Tyr sizes would be 195 45 16 front and 225 40 17 rear.

or 205 on the front and 235 on the rear, if you wish

Camskill say you can't get 195/45/ r16s trackday / semi trackday tyres. I'm after R1Rs or similar. Could these wheels fit 205/45 or 195/50?

[VXT Tim]

If the colour is the same as the pic I'm happy to call it that. Just before I search am I right in thinking you can't get R1R's in 195 45 16?

[Mike (Cliffie)]

Nope, the R1R's come in 205 but fit all the same.

AO48 and 888 both available in 195-16 for the fronts.

[JG]

and a 888 is a lot fatter than an A048 in the same size. Don't ask me why, i don't know, but they are.

Team Dynamics / Rimstock must have different types of anthracite.

These are also anthracite according to them, when they refurb'd them a couple of years back.

[CocoPops]

Yep, same colour as mine Matt from last years Rimstock Direct group buy.

[VXT Tim]

I might give RSR's a punt.

I'd say that the photos at the start of the thread are spotlight lit promo shots..
But if I was in this GB I'd want to confirm the correct colour before paying.

Be little wary of the 1.3s. One of mine bent badly just driving on the road within 2000 miles and they refused to replace it under warantee. Buying wheels less wide tha mine will probably mean they are stronger but still...
