Help me spec my wheels and tyres
I have read lots of posts and have come up with the following to buy. Will it suit the Indy
Team Dynamics 15" x 7J (PCD 108 and ET38) with 888 tyres 205mm wide
Thanks Paul

I'd say yes and is what i have for my Tiger B6.
Question is do you want narrower tyres on the front with it being a BEC??  Pass the popcorn please.

Try Demon Tweeks but ring up the Wheel & Tyre Dept and ask for a discount. Dont BECOC members get a discount there anyway?? I rang them last week
and got a really good quote on a set of 13" Minilite style wheels with R888's for a Locost

Just spoke to Demon Tweeks and they quoted £691 for the 4
I didnt want to pay this much, any other places cheaper or alternative wheels?

Not a lot wrong with standard Sierra wheels

To be honest thats not a bad price for that wheel / tyre combo. Even looking at Ebay the wheels are £363 delivered and the narrower (usually by around
£30 or £40 per set) 195/50/15 tyres are £300. Add to that £20 or so for fitting and you are around the same price as DT.

price seems about right for the spec you want, I got a set of prorace 1.2 in the same size for £350 delivered and I've fitted toyo tr1's
for now, I know there not as good as the proxies but I paid £100 for a set of 4,once I get used to the car I'll think about upgrading the
tyres.
First hurdle finish building the car first.
