Also any difinitive conclusion if these are gonna fit ok because of 5mm widened rear track? and if they would fit the big brakes ok with spacers?

Got to laugh! This was precisely the point of the TMS spec'd wheels and to my mind worth paying for.
Happy Christmas.

Quick reply if the above is not clear.

These will not fit over the big break kit (well not guaranteed)

if you want the AP conversion you should buy the TMS Team Dynamics Wheels

The rears are absolutely fine. The fronts may or may not fit with the AP 4 pot upgrade, but certainly would with a 5mm spacer.

Muncher for future reference how much are 5mm spacers?

I had some wheelarch rubbing on the rear during track use using the TMS size wheels and R888's, running a 125mm ride height. This was despite running Nitrons on quite a stiff setting.

Not sure if this issue would be cured or compounded by the 5mm wider track, but I had to raise the ride height a little to cure the problem.

Might just be my car / tyres

The guys I have spoken to who have them already, including alanoo from here say they have had no rubbing at all, alanoo is running Nitrons and a 115mm ride height. As for spacers, had a quick Google and approx a tenner for a pair inc VAT

Yes, drop me an e-mail with your contact details and the wheels you want (specifying VX ones as I am ordering some Elise ones) to sales@ip1hosting.net

Any chance of a set in white 17" front and 17" rear??? Griffo

Maybe, but I don't see why you would want to compromise the handling with 17" fronts. I think white 16" fronts would "look big enough" as it is.

[MartinS]

The pics I did in photoshop, show silver on silver and silver on blue which we couldnt see anywhere. Any idea when these wheels are coming now, as my car may not be useable legally soon, on whats left on my tyres and it was pretty hairy in the storms we had on Saturday. Martin s

[griffo]

It's not a question of how "big" they look. I am running virtually new 225x45x17 rubber on the rear and 205x40x17 on the front. IMHO 17" rubber does not go well on 16" rims.
