It is a CXR.......but it's a very bent one, which is only fit for use as an axle stand!Originally Posted by t45_ste

I'm not 100% sure, Andrew Bradley (the original builder of this car) has offered to sort out the problem for me, so I'm taking it to him at the weekend for him to cast an expert eye over.Originally Posted by Edd

Ahh right.Originally Posted by novarally

DOOOOOOO IT.
serious stuff
Your 4 wheels weigh in at 27.4kgs (assuming that the fronts are 15''x7'')Originally Posted by novarally
a set of 4 15''x6.5" Desmond rega masters would weigh in at 15.6kgs.
They're hard to get hold of, but on a no limits car like this it'd be worth it!
Check here for other wheel options http://wheelweights.net/
P.s. They were always on the cards for mine before breaking it as they look rather tasty as a bonus!

^^ jeeez! on the rega tip. niiice.
"let me drive.. i won't make a fool out of you"
Thanks Oli, that is really interesting. I have never seen those Regamasters before, under 4kg each is incredible. You have to wonder how strong they are, and there have been a few broken wheel incidents at race meetings I've attended.Originally Posted by dhdev (Oli)
What has your research revealed about durability, and prices?
I'd be tempted by a set for my Escort.......

On a rally escort I'd suggest they'd be a no-no, but on a featherweight track car they'd be more than strong enough I'm sure. As far as I can make out they are used by Spoon and re-branded with their own logo, and if a well-known tuner like that backs them, then they must be ok at least!Originally Posted by novarally
Prices are a tricky one, they tend to only come up second hand on Ebay in the UK and even that is rarely, I don't think anyone here sells new ones (that's if they're still made).
For weight/availability and cost you can't go much wrong with OZ superleggera's. As chav as they sound, they're actually a pretty light wheel coming in at 5.2kgs in a 15x7 (the same as your 13" revolutions), compared to your MO's at 8.5kgs.
Edit: there is a set of regamasters on Ebay at the moment, they are the wrong PCD and no. of bolts, but are at least a 15" and with 45 offset, they come in at £650 with tyres http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/REGAMASTER-EVO...item35a44b9acc
