Help me spec my wheels and tyres
paulmw - 6/6/08 at 11:42 AM

I have read lots of posts and have come up with the following to buy. Will it suit the Indy

Team Dynamics 15" x 7J (PCD 108 and ET38) with 888 tyres 205mm wide

Thanks Paul

I'd say yes and is what i have for my Tiger B6.

Question is do you want narrower tyres on the front with it being a BEC?? Pass the popcorn please.

Thanks

Next Question.

Where do I buy them from?

Try Demon Tweeks but ring up the Wheel & Tyre Dept and ask for a discount. Dont BECOC members get a discount there anyway?? I rang them last week and got a really good quote on a set of 13" Minilite style wheels with R888's for a Locost

BECOC discount details

Just spoke to Demon Tweeks and they quoted £691 for the 4

I didnt want to pay this much, any other places cheaper or alternative wheels?

Not a lot wrong with standard Sierra wheels

To be honest thats not a bad price for that wheel / tyre combo. Even looking at Ebay the wheels are £363 delivered and the narrower (usually by around £30 or £40 per set) 195/50/15 tyres are £300. Add to that £20 or so for fitting and you are around the same price as DT.

price seems about right for the spec you want, I got a set of prorace 1.2 in the same size for £350 delivered and I've fitted toyo tr1's for now, I know there not as good as the proxies but I paid £100 for a set of 4,once I get used to the car I'll think about upgrading the tyres.
First hurdle finish building the car first.

There are some very cheap wheels from this place (link).

Has anyone bought wheels from there?
