Change of wheels
joemotion - 15/5/11 at 06:04 PM

Right ive knackered a couple of my current wheels up - team dynamics monza (old style) 17's with cooper 205 tyres which were on the car when i bought her. They look very good in my opinion however would the most sensible option to be to change them to team dynamics pro race 1.2 15's with toyo 888's? I like the look of these!

Cant source a direct replacement for the two wheels that have been damaged so they all need to go.

Not driven another 7 so never experienced what 15's are like.

Sorry if ive gone over old ground here!

the general consensus for wheels is the smaller the better, I run 15's witout problems many swear by 13's for improved handling. The majority of the racing series run 13's too

Are there issues when you have discs on the back when running 13's. Reckon i can push to the 15's - will miss the 17's but handling should be so much better so has to be the right choice.

Any suggestions for tyre suppliers? i.e the cheapest for R888's? Are the tyres all the same on the front and back or do you have 195 front and 205 back??? seen something somewhere about it!
