Cycle wings for 17 inch wheels.
Anyone know where I can get cycle wings to fit my car. The wheels I'm using are 17 inch and have 215 or 225 tires on depending on what size I
fit. 215 may fit under 8.5" wide archer, but don't think 22 will.
Most cycle wings I find are too small in radius to fit over 17 inch alloys.
Can someone point me in the right direction please before I have to make my own.
Thank you.

Have you tried Dax. They always seen to have large wheels on... though why you'd want to ruin the handling I've no idea

Put smaller wheels on! 17" will be so much extra unsprung weight! Problem solved.

Had considered small wheels, but really like the look of it with them on.
Not overly concerned about unsprung mass, its just for fun this one. Weight saving is not the goal, especially with a 2.8 BMW lump in it

I have 17x8 on my zero with gbs flat top cycle wing I had to change the round tube to flat bar to allow the extra 1" and now have a wheel that
fills the wing nicely

Where can I get the GBS wing form then please. From what I can see they sell their parts through kitspares but they dont list them on their site.

Brilliant, now ?I'm getting somewhere. No idea why I couldn't find them Dax ones on eBay, I have searched it many times and not come
across them. As for kit spares I will give them a ring in the morning. Thanks guys..
