Title: Teasing over, they're on the car - OZs FTMFW!
Post by: tony_danza on October 13, 2009, 04:29:30 pm
Bit of an update (I can't find the original thread)

Rubber is on, picked up some used track tyres for an offer I couldn't refuse and will ruin those for a couple of outings.

Leaving the decals for now as I don't want the tyre monkeys making a mess of them, so will apply when I pick up some DZ03Gs next year (when they get some decent sizes in the UK)

I'll try getting them on the car for a better idea this weekend, but for now

They'd kind of stalled as I couldn't get hold of any of the tyres I wanted, so I'd intended to tuck them up for the winter - then I dropped on the Cups. Never used them before, but they're OE on M3 CSLs and GT3 RS'... so I'm hoping they'll be good!

They'll be getting used in anger at Anglesey at the end of the month  :happy2:

They allegedly work in the rain, so long as you get a bit of warmth in them before pressing on. Cold they absolutely don't like.

I'm going to end up in the sea.

Right O, what you've been waiting for....slung 'em on as they stand.

No hours of cleaning, no tyre shine, no centre caps - just win.

Wow, they look fantastic.

Reminds me of my old 'nova sport' days , these alloys were very popular - that was 20 years or so ago !!!, and they haven't aged a bit.

Why thanks everyone, I was hoping they'd work.

They feel much quicker on the steering and the sidewalls & grip (well, as much as I've dared explore on the road) of the Cups are epic. I can see these being some fun :evilgrin:

I'm afraid the JC did call dibs, I think my phone went as the pics were loading into photobucket when I first bought them - ha ha!!

If they improve the steering feel they must be lighter weight than the oem - So what do those OZ's weigh?
