14" wet track tyres

anyone have any 14" wets they've purchased and not fitted that they'd like to move along?

14" is just the worst rim size in the world when it comes to finding decent tyres of a sporting bent.
Move down to 13" or up to 15" and the world is your lobster.

Sorry for a pretty unhelpful post, but that's pretty much how it is.

unfortunatly 13" wheels do not clear my current brakes but i do plan to replace them over the winter.

15" wheels are not my thing on a kitcar either,

something like a021r's is what i'm after as i'm expecting the next couple of trackdays to be wet :S

Like the ones on the back of the Sylva ?

I really don't like 14" wheels.
They're neither one thing or another.

In my pile of scrap metal that I may try to assemble into a car shaped object, I have some 13" wheels, thankfully.
