Ouch, muchos dollar!

CXR's then in a low offset. I like dealing with Compomotive... good guys. The Badger won't let you down either.

nope - CXR's only in 17's or above and no super-sticky hillclimb rubber in 17's, has to be 15 or 16's, and want at least 8" wide in ET about 20.....so MO's it is, bit heavy but hey, beggers cannot be choosers.....at least they wont break

I was lept upon when I was looking at the ATS wheels @ the Autosport Inters this year,- very determined sell when I mentioned I had MO's & the fact ATS could make two wheels out of one compo - blah blah

Then I questioned timescale and did'nt get a direct answer to that one

Very nice wheels but was watching the proggresion of your order Rob with great interest going on past rumours before I even concidered placing an order.

It'll all come good in the end

I would rather staple my nutsack to the bench now than ever deal with the total incompetance that is AAT, tell everyone you know, these jokers and those like them bring the scene we love so dearly into shame, they should be driven out of buisness

Hell, Ive been waiting for another manifold which I ordered back in December, its now February and they've stopped answering my emails.......

I digress, Back to the Pickle....

[WeeJase]

to quote clint eastwood in heart break ridge."its a cluster f**k".
members of briskoda have been waiting over a year for a set of bonnet lifters,wtf do these people promise something they cannot follow up?greedy :w4nk:

 

[F2 Stu]

Its certainly not a good way to do business is it

Can appreciate manufacturers/suppliers dragging their heels as long as I'm forewarned to the situation.

Being lied to gets an instant black mark in my book.

Just ordered from the badger

8x16 MO fronts ET35 but with 15mm hubcentrics = ET20
7x15 MO rears

Just done a dummy fit of my existing 7.5x16 ET27 MO with a 15mm spacer (equating to an ET12) and there's still **** loads of space in the arches LOL - the final 8x16 ET20 will be 5mm wider than this

Fronts to be fitted with very serious tyres - kevlar construction avon crossplies that were originally made for GpN Escort cossies for hillclimbing, very very lightweight, 8.5 x 23.3 x 16, ultra sticky.

diameter = 598mm, 244mm total width, 223mm tread width.

As a comparison, 205/50/15 toyo R888 that I use as intermediates = 584mm diameter, 216mm total width.

wet tyre 205/45/16 eagle F1 = 584mm

may put 225/45/16 R888 on though.......605mm diameter......228mm wide

 

[F2 Stu]

why 15's on the back?

 

[RobT]

cos 15's are cheaper and they dont need to be 16's

 

[Feel]

It's going to look like that cartoon bulldog...

P.S. Probably not a good time to be pulling yer leg

 

[andyj]

Gutted to hear the news about AAT mate...... not impressed

On the plus side, MO's will look superb

Got any piccies of the panels back on the car ?!?
