New Wheels

I’ve bought the 16″ sport evos from Craig. Pictures here are worth a thousand words! As a reminder, with the old wheels fitted, the car looked like this:

So, with an M5 supervising, we performed a quick swap:

And here are the results:

I’m pretty pleased! The wheels came with a set of Goodyear Eagle F1s. The fronts still have plenty of tread left, but the rears were very worn with signs of track abuse: chunks missing and cord showing in places. An early morning trip to my friendly tyre centre this morning saw those two tyres replaced with Falkens for only ยฃ120 the pair.

The car drives fine on them, although the rear is a little wild while the new rears bed in.

On another note, the exhaust resonance is becoming louder to the point where it’s almost intolerable. I’ll start my research into replacement systems for June.
