Pro Race 1.2's

Yes i know i'm a terrible show off but i just had to pop a pic of my new wheels...well one of them anyway!

Gonna need some rubber but can't decide between Toyo T1s or Goodyear F1's and also what size. Probably will stick with 195/50/15's but want to see how 205's look on an Indy.

very nice.
Are they lightweight wheels?
I'd go with the toyo R888 or yoko A48 they will look smashing with nice rubber on

They are suprisingly light actually!!

Yes Toyo R888's or yoko's would look very sexy and seeing as the wheels are so nice i may have to go the whole hog!! I'll see what the prices are like....

Toyo R888's at Camskill 195/55/R15's £88 each inc vat

Yoko A048's at Camskill 195/50/R15 £112

Bit of a difference in price!!

That will be me. I bought a couple packs of Sanyo Race 2000 8.4volt 2000mAh nicads for a boat and never used them. I have no boat and no use for them so i guess i had better sell them!!....and the charger!

Couldnt help noticing the Ripmax Propeak in the background myself, although I assumed electric flight!

Nice wheels. I guess they will still look clean when theyre covered in brake dust!

Yes that is a Pro Peak charger and the batteries were for electric flight and not for the boat. (memory like a goldfish!!)

Brake dust on me new wheels!!!! no way pedro!! I'll have a cloth to clean them with wherever i go. Every time i stop at traffic lights i'll get out and give them a polish up!
