Hi Iain,

So does size really matter? What size are yours?

I'm going to uprate mine pretty soon, when my new 18' wheels arrive at the end of the month. The biggest disks I have found so far are 355mm as part of an AP kit. They are obviously more expensive than 330mm disks (£250 more) and I'm wondering if the extra 25mm will really make much difference. Time to do a search.

Hope you don't mind me asking - have you got the disks on the correct wheels? Similar to Andy's car, the grooves on my current disks (TarOx) are the opposite way round.

The kit is from Godspeed and the disks are 325mm. Waiting for pukka braided hoses and the right EBC Greens before I give a verdict. I hope the grooves are the right way round - as instructed. The disks do not have directional vanes so apparently it doesn't matter which way round they go - I personally think that the grooves work best with the leading edge on the inside and help expel dust and heat outwards (centrifugal force). I think they suit the wheels perfectly!

yep i also think they look great ...

the drills n grooves look really hardcore, tho im not a fan of drills n grooves anymore.

i used to have the 308 conversion behind 15 inch compomotive mo's they totally filled the wheels as u would expect with 15's with 308's!!

they wore well aswell...

makes the car look much more hardcore

i like
