So we tried the wheels on today.... They look great. OK so the big brake does clear the brakes still not sure on the massive brakes as we only had 2 cars but... One interesting factor the classic is et20 but the big brake is et30... So the classic sticks out further than the big brake. I'm. Unsure if that was meant but it's how it is.... I'm sure pics will be put up later.... The wheels looked fab tho nicely finished and designed caps look good too u can see some casting marks but if they high build them it'll vanish... Bare in mind these were just a first off the line..

Certainly not what is shown on Jan's template & a little concerning!

ET20 for both originally.

Hi all - just to confirm they will both be ET20.

The Big Brake wheel I left at Ben's is only the first sample I got from the factory a long time ago, there are many many detailed and some less detailed flaws like ET. - I left it at Bens a month ago just for Big Brake fitment purposes. If it fits this one, it will surely fit the final product.

The classic one at Bens is a 3rd gen sample (FINAL sample) and shouldn't have any flaws. The CLASSIC end-product will be the same as this one, the BIG-BRAKE will be the same except for the additional CNC work needed to fit the larger brakes of course.

Hope this helps to clarify.

Thanks for the hospitality and those that came yesterday, as Jan says they will both be ET20 and will be quality checked to ensure all are as expected.

Single pics are the big brake wheels. Pic with both wheels is the classic on the front with some washers behind to clear the caliper and big brake on the back, the big brake has a 245/35/18 and the classic a 255/35/18. The 245 looked a little stretched, however I believe the general consensus was that it was the tyre brand more than anything else (I borrowed a cheapo tyre for each as they were the only ones in stock).

I do have some prices for the tyre group buy and they're as follows (fitting included)

255/35/18
Pirelli P Zero - £105+vat
Avon - £80+vat
Raped - £60+vat

245/35/18
Pirelli P Zero - £107+vat

Would like to see how the 245 Pirelli fits,

Would like to see how the 245 Pirelli fits,

that's my next task to find a branded tyre that I don't have to pay for, or only pay a small amount.
He doesn't have the Pirelli's in stock so would mean me buying one with the potential of not using it

If anyone has a 245/35/18 tyre that is surplus to requirements, bald etc.... let me know please

[cosman]

I have a mate with a tyre place I'll see what he has

[rscosworthman]

I have 255s Toyo R888R on mine, they fit great

Like in the picture it looks ok. The only thing from 245 to 255 is that the car is getting longer due to the larger perimeter. This is my concern!
