Gareth,

What pressures are you running the 48's at? Finally geting around to fitting them.

If I remember rightly, 20psi front 22 rear...I think.
It was low anyway

Fecking hell Gareth

That's way below the factory recomended settings (for factory read Lotus Motorsport)

28psi Cold resetting to 30psi hot if required

Cheers

Mac

Better get out to the compressor again!

The wheels were originally destined for Japan, and have a yellow band around them. In reality, this doesn't look as good against the krypton paint as I'd hoped.

Style over subtance I know, but they may be up for sale soon

Yup, it's below Lotus recomendations. Maybe put it up to 22/24. Definately not as high as 28. This will wear the middle of the tyre due to ballooning. I should add, my settings are for the wet and cold weather.

I've ran mine at the lotus specified PSI and had no issues with uneven wear.

TBH that was with bog standard geo and ride height. I've manage to get the best part of a whole years track usage out of them, and they do work well on track at that poundage.

Pays your money, takes your choice, I suppose.

Cheers

Mac

I've dropped mine to 20/22 (cold)...

I ran factory settings for a while but I was getting more wear in the centres (hence too high).

Cheers,
Ali

I'm sticking with 20/22.

Where'd you get the wheels from Derek?

Derek · Post by **Derek** » Sat Jan 14, 2006 8:08 pm

I got then at the Stoneleigh show in November, from SW Lotus Centre (much cheapness). Only got the longer bolts from MMC the other day though, and today was the first time on the car. I just don't think they look right on it though.

If they look bad go faster

Actually they are growing on me.
