Powder coating on track wheels seems an issue or using non forged or non OEM type wheels on track?

In case anyone's wondering I took the pics at Curborough.

To be honest eggy made it easy as he was quick and very entertaining.

It's a great looking car and mighty quick!!

cheers maz, was a really good day, you should have come. i reckon your twinscroll would have been perfect for it, tbh even if you didnt run, it was worth it for the banter

stephen went out in most cars, giving tips etc. as he is very good. he was actually the one who spotted my cracked wheel, just after i took him out lol. but i could tell he was missing the subaru scene after watching lol

Rescue Dude, did an awesome job of the pics, think he got a good shot of every car there! well impressed

Cheers eggy. I'm still learning the camera so I lost some good shots due to a schoolboy error which is annoying.

I have learnt my lesson and will have no excuses next time.

ok new wheel time after the cracked spoke.. and i dont have a clue what to get..do i go really wide? 10" like rota fighter drift? with abw arches? how will it handle?

or keep it sensible? xxr 527 or 530s? in Matt Bronze 17 x 8.25 width so they not too heavy and i'll still be able to run the 225/45/17 semi slicks i have.. might also be able to go a lil wider on them too when it comes to tyre replacement time.. reckon 245 could fit?

opinions and comments welcome.. what do you reckon will look best but also perform decently.

They do look awesome but really dont know what to do. Performance is always 1st with me, looks secondary. ive had people say dont do it cause it wil ruin the handling with 10" dish. So really dnt kno what to do

You know what you want don't you mate, Only easy place to get them is on NASOIC and shipped over from the states as they got them as an option, I think they only came in 7.5 on a 5x100 as mine are i think but you can get a 235 on them, I'll have a look in a bit
