Decent wheels for the R8 (although I don't like the 20s). £2750 with tyres.

I think these are great value when you look at alternatives.

My fave wheel for the R8 has to be the Stasis one though!

Those are the cut face gunmetal, you should get them and put a heavy tint gloss on. T'would look nuts.
Do like the 20s?
EDIT: great value with the tyres, when I got mine I shod GY F1s 275s @ £80 per corner.

I love the concave but the wheel design is only average imo.
But a good price inc tyres

Why are you not keen on 20's BamBam,the ride quality ?

20's look great IMO, they do ride firmer though whatever anyone says.

When I went from 19's to 20's on Sarge, I convinced myself that the ride was the same. Then I went in another with 19's back to back and the difference could be felt.

Form over function.

The way to do it would be a set of 20" Stasis wheels for road and keep the 19's for track with some 888's!

I agree, the design isn't perfect but I honestly think you'd not notice on an R8, especially in a dark hue.
I don't like the 20s coz it makes it look sky high and slightly over wheeled, not to mention more rotational weight... function over form for me.

Yeah im feeling that.

As said the ride will never me quite as good with 20s but over all its still pretty good.
Some cars do seem to take 20s well,the b7 being one,at the last meet we had the 19s at standard ride
height and they didnt look very big.And my misses says size matters,thats why shes leaving me :lol: :lol:

You all know the look of a car is massive to me,but dont think i dont use the car as it was intended,ok i wont track it but it does get
a good going over,and i know Lukes the same.

I hope to meet up with you lot when the weather improves i need to hear the beast in person,hopefully not sounding
to shabby myself once the decats are on

Yeah, I came, that's a horny wheel. Also, is that a V10? I love that extra side blade scoop, is that the same on the both powerplants?
