Default Wanted - cheap classic alloys for Blyton!

Hello everyone

I have put my name down for the blyton trackday on the 27th of march and would like a set of wheels and tyres to use. I hear that the surface can be pretty harsh and want to have plenty of fun so I guess driving there and back on the same tyres is probably a no no.

I'm not looking for anything special, just some wheels that will fit with half decent tyres - anything considered as long as its cheap!

p.s mines a 93 import

cheers

James

Hi James,

when mine was running at std. power output I used Bridgestones, Yokohamas and wanli's....All easily survived there and back and all I could chuck at them.

You just need to raise the pressures ( I ran 37 F 34 R ) others driving like Twocers killed a std. tyre in just a few laps....

FroSti you know who I mean !

HTH

P.S. Last time I used R888's and it still slid around nicely....

Nice pic Dunx

Might give that a try although I am still after a set of spares as I want to compete in scooby sprint this year.

Cheers
