I run more boost than the normal S2+ file yeah, but if anything that would just create more heat so the results are even more impressive if you look at it like that..

Thats it though, the knock control is all standard S2+..

New wheels on order..

New style Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3 (literally only just became available this week)



Only pic I have, I really like the look..

Specs are 18x8.5 / ET50 / 5X112

I could have gone lower on the offset but im going to fit 255 width tyres on them, so I want to have a high offset to start with, and then just use 1 or 2mm spacers to shim out the wheel from the struts front and rear to get the fitment perfect to give me the best chance of being able to fit the larger tyres in the stock arches with minimal work..

There going to be finished in Satin black, and should look great! Only bad thing about it is that I now have 3 weeks to wait! 

Should be worth it though! Looking forward to having some traction!!

They look stunning, what are you wrapping them in? R888's?

Either a Toyo or Yokohama track tyre.. Possibly something else.. I find the Toyo's too soft in construction, but straight line grip is good, not great though!

Ill have a think.. Either way the size will be 255/40/18

They look great Jonny, what are they per corner - about 9.8kg? Where have you sourced them from as the only references I'm seeing to them that have pricing info are on EBay at £785.

straight line grip with R888s on a 255 wide ture not enough

I got them through a personal contact at Dynamics.. Yeah about that, a little more than the 1.2 as they are a touch wider in this fitment..

Bare in mind what power the car is going to be running, I need to give myself the best chance of getting it right first time  I think they will be ok..

With the 235 R888's the traction was good, I struggled to spin in 1st gear on a decent surface, but that was with 150hp less than im looking at running now..

I really like the look of them Jonny, more angular than the 1.2's

Ahh, I saw them in the new Tweeks catalogue - very nice, I think the lack of text on the rim is an improvement.

I thought you'd found a set of these, Speedline Marmoras. Brandspankingnew!

Yeah like the new Speedlines, but there only 18x8 so no good unfortunately.. Tasty though

Is there a weight comparison between these and pr 1.3s?  Prefer the speedlines personally.  Like the spokes going to the rim..

[tony_danza]

Details are very sketchy, as it's a brand new wheel.

Turinis are roughly 400grammes lighter than a PR1.2 - so I'd expect all the Marmoras and PR1.3s in 18x8 guise to be in the same sub-9kg ballpark, which for any wheel is a decent figure TBH.
