Yes - more choice for 205-45-16 was pushing me that way, Goodyear's are £319 for the set at Costco fitted.

People on here have raved about feds rs-r's over the years. They just look damn good. Very difficult to get a consensus on tyres. Need to be a seasoned tracker to know the different qualities out there.

Seen this mentioned a few times but I'm struggling to find much in that size. All I've found so far are T1Rs? Any others I'm missing?

 

 

195 fronts!

Didnt like RS-Rs one single bit! I always stick with Yoko AD08rs now.

What size toyos Will people be putting on these, or is there only one size available?

NS2s

[A.C.oral]

Not the Nankang ns-2r? Been reading up on old posts and they've been mentioned few times. Generally good for road but can track apparently. Would give you the full set of matching brand/tyre for £90/100 corner. Leading contender for me now if sticking to the 195 fronts. Looked up nankang ar-1 too which looks like a full on slick - track focussed & more £.

I've just got some yoko V105s in 195 for mine. Feel ok so far. Higher profile than my old S drives takes a bit of getting used to but much more compliant over the bumps. Will see how they bed in but seem to be worth a look for others like me who only use them for road rather than track

don't forget -

 

 

It has been brought to our attention that some of you may not be aware that the Centre Caps and the Speedline Centre Cap Badges/Emblems supplied with your VXR220 Wheels, are separate items - they are not already stuck together. They are supplied like that so you can align the emblem(s) with the Speedline spoke decals/pad-printing if you want to.

 

Sometimes during packing/transporting, the Badge/Emblem will actually sit inside the Centre Cap and because they are a good fit, it may look like they are already stuck together.

 

If you haven’t already done so, you will need to ensure that the brown backing paper is removed from the back of the Badges/Emblems, and they are firmly stuck to the Centre Caps.

any update on the balance of these?  

 

how many are still waiting on theirs to be delivered?

Looking at tyres again for road use (205/45/16 & 225/45/17) Rainsport 3's & Eagle F1 A2's keep coming up as options, anyone have any thoughts on this?

 

Cheers

For road tyres, I'd recommend Yokohama V105 / V105s.

 

Come in the preferable 195/50/16 and 225/45/17 sizes. I paid about £330 fitted for a full set.

 

Feel similar to my previous AD08r (a little less grip, predictably), but more compliant and less crap in the wet. Won't survive as well on track presumably however.

Anyone interested in a group buy for the magnesium version of this?
There’s a chap on one of the Lotus FB groups trying to set one up...time for a list...

[pete-r]

I'm interested at the price mentioned, I think I'd be able to sell my 260 wheels on and get these with tyres and change!
