quite simple really, what do i go for?
5 steelies and toyo proxes are £550 and 4 ats cups and toyo proxes are £600....
-
My choice... steels. More OEM.
-
thats what i was thinking...like the sound of going "super OEM" or whatever its known as...
got so much to do to prep for the trip to the ring!!
-
go for steelies because ats cups are horrible :laugh:
-
Its a tough one i love them both.
As its still winter Steels
But i think overall i prefer the ATS Cups.
-
G60's every time - may get a set myself for winter + they look good as a main set as long as the car is subtle! :cool:
-
I like both but I'd be tempted to edge towards the Cups.
I'm not sure on the weights but if you're using it as a track car, surely the lightest wheel would be the best option?
I've heard the Steels are heavy, but like I say, I'm not sure of comparitive weights.
-
i`d go with the steelies, but i`m sure you could get them cheaper than £550, or buy some 2nd hand ones and re-shod them :wink:
-
^^^I thought that too. A bit steep for the steelies. Where have you seen them? :smiley:
-
cups
-
Yeah, I just paid around £300 for 4 steelies and 4 Proxes.
£160 odd quid for the steelies and £120 for tyres from www.mytyres.co.uk
I personally prefer steelies but depends on the car
-
Depends on the 'look' of the rest of your car really.
And which brakes your running, cups wont fit over 280mm brakes.
-
the tyres are costing alot more that what they should i think, been quoted 62.50 a corner which sounds like alot? wheels are from vw.
