I got a set delivered to work today (Leagrave) and I think I ordered mine after you.

[MartinS]

For years I have had different centre caps on my TD's and intend to get some made for these wheels as am not  fan of the current ones.

Attached are some designs (low resolution) that I have (most SC related as thats what I have) and plan to get gel centre caps probably with a carbon look plus one of these designs.

I am happy to supply high res designs in any colour to anyone who wants to order themselves new centre caps/steering wheel centres.

I will let you know who I order off once I have them and know there decent quality but its not worth a group buy as theyre so cheap anyway.

Happy christmas all.

Hi Ade, actually had all 4 delivered in the end, on three separate deliveries! Martin, I could be interested in caps once you've come to a decision about a supplier etc

I put my wheels on the car this morning. A few phone snaps..

 

 

 

 

No rubbing on full lock at front. Rears fine thus far. The N/S handbrake cable had to be moved slightly (i.e. just cable tied to lower wishbone) as that was making contact with the inside of the wheel.

 

Was going to get the wheels re-finished in anthracite type colour but having to watch pennies at the moment so sticking with silver for the time being.

Looks great!

[ade]

can standard wheel nuts be used on these alloys or should I get some new different nuts?

[Crabash]

I used standard originally, changed recently but only because I wanted some new ones.

[ade]

Ok thank you, I will get a new set off e-bay then.

Still not decided on tyres as think any of them will give me grief as my current 888's and RIR's all rub.

 

Sure that 215 fronts wont work on my car so Federals seem out of the equation leaving 888's 205 40 17 fronts 235 40 17 rear, or AD08R's 205 45 17 front 235 40 17 rear.

 

Best price so far for 888's £750 AD08R's £650.

 

Anyone got an idea of how AD08r's are compared with 888's. I'm assuming there like R1R's and will overheat quickly on track on sunny days and would end up using my old wheels and tyre combos all summer.

I've used ad08s on track and they were fine for me, I'm not quick though. I think I'm going for ad08s again as they offered a good half way house.

[Hark]

AD08s out of stock on camskill....

[Steve.i.am]

I got my AD08Rs from EARs Motorsport - were around £620 delivered. They didn't show as in stock on the website but when I rang they could get them. This was a few weeks ago.

[Crabash]

£579.84 inc tax and shipping for 2 x 215/45 and 2x 245/45. yokohamatyresdirect actually despatched from EARS.

 

[Hark]

I've got quotes today but that was £620 delivered for Ad08s.. federal 595s still in stock on camskill £429 delivered. Hell of a price difference.

[Crabash]

The above was for AD08's not 30 mins ago btw, think it was less when I got them.
