Calling mr Triton!
Just wondered if you could post a pic of your cycle wings on here.
I enquired about a pair in CF before chrimbo but need to see em first (pic of grp ones will be fine) to assess the visual "fit" with the
rest of the car!
Christmas didn't hit the wallet QUITE as cripplingly as I thought it would so have some cash available!

Not that clever an angle sorry, they have a section on the side to allow the wing stays to pass up and under the wing.
Should have better pics Friday and it will be a Carbon fibre jobbie.

Price is "very competitive" shall we say!!!
Cheers Triton, a pic from the other side where the stays go when you take the pics of the carbon jobbie would be great.
thanks

What would be the popular tyre width to pick on then people if we get stuck into making a longer cycle wing?

205 is realistically about as wide as you can go on these types of cars, but I think most people run 185s....

185's when i get round to finishing it.
i'd guess 185 is the most popular based on its about the widest tyre you can get on capri lasers which most real locosters will be using.
(who says i'm trying to start a fight?)

You can get 195's on 6J Capri Lazers... Though as standard they were fitted with 185's (which incidently is what mine (lasers) have on
at the moment).

Hi Mike,
Go here:
http://www.rochfordtyres.co.uk/tyrecalc.asp
Stick your tyre size into the 'rim width calculator' and it will tell you what rims it will fit on.
195/60/13 will go on 5.5-7" rims.

i have a set of 6" wide steel peugeot 106 rallye wheels with 195's on them. the tyre sits very square to the rim, but does not curve
outside the rim width.
