Yes :hahaha:

I wanted a 'proper set of track' wheels and at the time 18" tyres were cheaper than 19's. Tyre cost is very similar now... :banghead:

I see, I am thinking a brand spanking new set of 19" Cups if they are still available!

[glendog74]

Think I'll stick with the 19's then as I'm no hardcore track driver anyway :hahaha: What was your main benefit with 18's?

Looking cool :thumbs:

Hehe, cheers. No clutch - the dual mass doesn't appreciate a clutch kick, or at least, I'm not prepared to risk it. Just go in at one billion miles an hour and give it a stern flick.

I did manage to film an 8:18 lap here -

You can see how violently you have to throw it! Just fastforward to AdenaurForst, Wehrseifen and Steilstreke and Brunnchen.

Nice work Mr Clark:thumbs:

Both setups ride the kerbs just fine

All good then mate, does/did the 18" set up allow you to 'ride' the kerbs more than OEM 19's then?

I like them now mate and feel confident on them although it took 2 UK TDs to get used to the 'feel' and i also have to drive with DSC fully off when 'pushing on' due to the wider rears.

Regards times at the Ring, i rarely time myself tbh but Jim has footage of us doing an 8m15s BTG which is about my average TF time, traffic dependant.

I do know that i could probably go a little quicker on the BBS, in particular by increasing my corner entry speeds over the OEM 19's setup.
