Nice ta ! Got a few questions for ya !
What's the clearance like on the bbk is there more or less room for the calipers than your last wheels ?
Are you running spacers for clearance?
any rubbing?
Do you notice a differance from the weight saving ?

Ta

Thanks for the comments, really happy with the look of the wheels on the car  :laugh:

I have found that there is more clearance on the calipers with these wheels than my previous wheels. Because it is the VWR BBK, they have a built in spacer so I guess the answer to that would be yes on the front.

I have only had the wheels on the car a couple of days but from the driving I have done so far I have not had any rubbing. When changing the wheels over there was a noticable difference between the weight of the two. Hope this helps.

Cheers mate !

What wheels did you have on previously, i've got about 10mm clearance with my mozas on my ap racing brakes, if you had the pescaras on before and there is more clearance with these I'll be fine as the pescaras have a little less room than the monzas.

keep me informed if any rubbing develops too

thanks for your help

Yeh I had the Pescaras on before and there was just enough room there. Much better with these.

I have Toyo R888's fitted to these wheels.

Going to put the Pescara's back on for the winter though. They need a good clean up first.
