just traveled to Nottingham and back for some shiny new wheels.

Team Dynamics 1.2 with Toyo R888 tyres..




and on the car



only problem is i've had to put the 308mm discs on as the wheels wouldn't clear the calipers with 325mm discs on ill get the discs machined back by 2-3 mm and then ill beable to use them again

here is a pic of the 308's

all tyres wear, just depends how quick, i only plan to use these in the summer as in the wet i've heard they are a bugger.

once these die i will get some khumos as they are getting great reviews and are cheap.

So your going to compare it to a VX Find a Corsa C with 15s and use that for comparison

Oh, wheels look a lot better than the old ones mate

it was either these or the spedlines from the vxr220.. but i think these are a tad better as they show off the brakes more

ive just been out for a drive in the wet.. i cant say they are that bad in the wet, at the speed limit, just pootiling about, brakes dont lock up slamming on from 25 and i thought they might, ABS is off now aswell..

i did manage to get them out in the dry for 20 mins earlier on today and the braking is immense!

They're only bad in standing water really, fine in normal rain/wet.
