Title: FD Space savers...
Post by: Brett on May 16, 2007, 12:14:57 PM
I\'m led to believe that these are lightweight multispoke jobs?

Does anybody know what size tyre they have fitted?

Thanks in advance :Thumbsup!

There are two kinds.

The high spec models have an alloy rim. Cheapies have steel.

Sorry dont know size

When id just bought my FD, back when it was yellow, I popped the boot to find one of these lovely multispoke wheels in yellow and I wondered how it would look with four of these beauties on, lol!!!

Mmmmmm

probably quite a few bike tyres ... not many car tyres I bet.

Front runners are different matter, sure Mickey T or one of the other manufacturers would do front runners in similar sizes.

118mph to be legal it needs to exceed the top speed of the standard car

Hmmm - I think 118 would be enough for a start :)
