Thanks - I quite like them, but I'm not really bothered about how they look. They are from "Wheelmania", I saw them advertised on eBay, these are "Team Dynamics" wheels, their Motorsport models in white, although they are no-where near as light (or as expensive) as a proper set of OZ touring car racing wheels. Personally, I'd never trust halfrauds with anything.
As for the wheels? it makes a substantial difference, these ones are 3kg lighter all in per wheel, and the rubber contact patch is larger, allowing me to obtain higher lateral g, resulting in increased corner speed, and more importantly corner exit speed, meaning I may well be a car ahead at the end of the follow straight than I would otherwise be.
If you've ever been to the UK I don't think you would sniff too hard at 89hp, the insurance for my age group is £2600 fully comp, and £1300 third party only, that isn't even fire and theft. I have however been to Austria, and I absolutely loved it, if I lived there I would drive down to Italy on a daily basis just because of the road that joins the two over the mountains is THE BEST DRIVING EXPERIENCE I have ever had.
