Simon Mac Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Looking to buy some spare rims. My current rears are OK-ish, but I don't think they'll last my euro trip. Rather than bin a perfectly usable set of tyres, I thought I'd take the opportunity to buy a complete set of rims and tyres. Was going to give a set of T1Rs a whirl which @ £250 all round seemed pretty reasonable. (185s on the front). Putting them on either a used set of 6 spokes, or some new Team Dynamic 1.2s Thoughts?

Alex B Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 pretty sure i saw a company doing pro race 1.2's with T1r's on for around 600 notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr H Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 If you want rims you'll have to go to the USA. You'll probably only get wheels here in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve J Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I believe you can rim in the UK too Leigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex B Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Simon, theres a set of S2 alloys for sale of seloc for 100 sheets tyres are useless though, not sure if these would be any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Mac Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks Alex, but I missed that boat I've just bit the bullet and bought some new TD 1.2s. Figured it was a bit more flexible in tyre choice. Spoke to the chap at seriously lotus, as they do the non labelled ones for £500. He tipped my colour decision... Gloss black. Very helpful chap to boot. Now to the thorny subject of tyres I'm leaning towards Toyo R1Rs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex B Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Having pax lapped in A couple of cars with r1r's they are a very good tyre in both wet and dry. Soon to be discontinued and not that much cheaper than 888's. Ad08's are a good shout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatty Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Ad08r or the r1r are both brilliant tyres... If push came to shove I'd go ad08... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Mac Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 After much p!ss!ng about trying to find R1Rs in the correct sizes from somewhere that had all 4 corners in stock, I gave up and just got some T1Rs. Besides, seems a waste to put a set of soft tyres on just to wear them out on motorways on the way to Italy and back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
