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. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/confused.gif

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 http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif...

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!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

they wore well aswell...

makes the car look much more hardcore http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

i like
