Spare set of wheels

[gambler]

Does anyone have a spare set of S1 wheels kicking about that I could borrow for the weekend ?

I'm hopefully doing SLS again and the weather is looking pretty pants and I was thinking about having a spare set with some tyres more suited to pants weather.

Happy to exchange beer tokens for the loan

Cheers

I have a spare set sitting at my house (Glasgow) if any use. Tyres on them are past it.

Thanks dom, ill maybe take you up on them. Will see the availability on other tyres in the morning and give you a shout

My wheels are the 111s OZ racing 6 spoke alloys. Not sure if they are a little larger (wider) than standard elise alloys. I use on the front; 195/50 R15, and on the rear 225/45 R16

They are either a half inch or inch (I think the former) wider on the rear than standard S1 rims.

Not a massive amount of difference TBH and the standard recommended fitment for the narrower rears was revised up to the 225s anyway (originally 205 P-Zero)

That's the same size that I have been running on the car anyway. Not even sure what make of the wheels are anyway. Think they are rota

Thought it was something like that - necessitating the wee spats on the rear wheel arches. My concern was it would screw up the set up for Scott's car.

Hat's off to your levels of geekery Mr Shug

I don't really think my car has a set up anyway Dom!

The wheels point towards the nearest carrot

Sometimes the donkey should be taking the stick rather than the carrot. John Cleese style, a damn good thrashing
