18's on the S with Eagle F1's
After a week running 18's I'm so impressed. The car feels so much easier to drive on the limit. The feeling of the back end letting go has gone and I can control the car so much easier on the limit. I dont think it corners any quicker, just handels better.
I think (but can't be sure) it's down to the combination of having good, high quality Alloys (BBS le mans) and the eagle F1's. It trully is awsome.
Road noise has dropped and the smell of rubber has got stronger
Big to BBS. The wheels look great stationary and even better spinning. Note to self - stop looking at refelctions in shop windows and concentrate on the road.

I have to say, I had Eagle F1's on one of my previous cars and they improved the overall grip and roadholding no end.
(I do that looking a reflection bit too - sad, isn't it?!)

You may loose a car length over a quarter mile if anything by fitting 18's.

If you don't mind me asking how much did the LM's set you back because I really fancy a set.
Brand new they are

Oh dear!! It appears we have a straight line jockey! We aren't referring to acceleration, but to the handling. Perhaps you should stop spending time dwon the Nantgarw Bowlplex!
