Nice 17's with moulded slicks

Guys, I have nice set of anthracite(ish) 17's, no damage, far too good for track, fitted with moulded slicks that fit my classic. Unfortunately the wheels won't fit over my unpheasibly large AP calipers, which are from a TVR Sagaris. They will def fit over four pots, and may fit over Brembo's etc, but I AM NOT SURE so if you want to try one then please come and do so.

Ideal for trackdays, although they do seem a bit pressure sensitive where grip is concerned, so you need to get it right. There's loads of life left in the tyres.

If anyone's interested I'll get some more details and photos- they're on my tyre rack in the factory at the moment and I can't remember what they are.

Deliberately getting out of shape on slicks is only for the brave or the very stupid.

I have moments of both

Like the look of them. What sort of price you after?

What size AP's (Discs) have you got on the car??

PM if you'd prefer.

Cheers

£250 plus p&p. I'm on 330s, but its the depth of the caliper causing the problem rather than the disk.

Yeah got AP's front and rear on mine so might face the same problem. Not sure what the Caliper part number for the Sagaris is.

If I sent you an installation profile for my brake kit would you be able to check it against the Wheels you have?
