Does anyone have a good source for 13inch Compomotive CXRs?

Tim,

I think George Polley does some special deals particularly when bought with tyres so may be worth a try.

Noooooo, that's including a Yoky A539! Mine were about £70 each from Compomotive, which was as cheap as anywhere else but you have the beauty of dealing direct with the manufacturer and not dealing through a 3rd party. From the point that I ordered the wheels I was told to always deal with the guy who took the order and he was spot-on! He said 3 weeks lead time and that's exactly how long they took! Plus, I didn't have to wait for them to be delivered to a supplier before they were delivered to me.

Give them a bell - they're the best option!

Or, they sometimes give discounts when ordered at shows (Autosport for example), so if you can wait until then you could save 10%.

p.s. Make sure you get 13" as the 15"s look crap!

StevieB - 5/10/06 at 03:15 PM

£70 a wheel's good - I'd stopped thinking about getting them becuser the cheapest I've found them for is £90 + VAT for 13's. Not so Locost!

Plus, get 13's and there's a couple of Yoky A021's under my desk that someone foolishly left there.

I reckon he'll forget about them soon and I'll sell them

They still work out cheaper from Compomotive direct including tyres though (don't know how good Yoko A539's are?)

Coose - 5/10/06 at 03:52 PM

539's are a bit hard. You want 21's, 48's or I'll be trying Toyo R888's next methinks.....

p.s. 15" CXRs still look crap!

StevieB - 5/10/06 at 03:55 PM

R888's are a bit pricey though!

I think Mark got his 21's for about £40 apiece from Polley's - much better value and the main reason I'm trying to get the smaller calipers -so I can squeeze 13's on instead of 15's

I think the 17inch look the best! Rescued attachment feb06 005.jpg

The tyres that you keep tripping over are 70 profile Yokys, whereas my 21s and R888s will be 60. 70s are cheap, but 60s give less sidewall movement so I'd recommend you pay the extra and go for them.

Oooops, another thread hijack - sorry!

PMSL @ the above post!!!

Form over function Hellfire!

When Caterham did the R500, which was a 'cost no object' study in making the best car possible, they used 13's.

Nuff said.

I was going to let that one go, but since you mention it...

Coose - 5/10/06 at 08:33 PM

Tee hee! That had me scatching ma heed for a minute! Shopping trolley.... Who's the retard now!

Sorry to all you bling boys, but I can't understand the love of massive tractor wheels on a se7en - anything bigger than 14" I think looks awful, but each to their own!

13's still rool!
