New wheels

Ready for cadwell on 12th oct 2015
Ready for sum track action now,see wot difference 15" wheels make with r1r tyres
 
Seal your wheels mate!! I did a track day on brand new white 1.2's and they were stained for life!!

looked like yours before I started, and this is after they had been cleaned with several aggressive wheel cleaning products.........
 
I think you get wheel sealer mate, don't know how much it will help to be honest. Those were stained by ds2500 pads, and the rc6's we now use are even worse..... It would just be a shame to see yours end up like mine as the blue and white looks really good.... I ended up getting mine re powder coated in silver lol
 
Got some sealer off ebay coming £25. So see how it holds up, yes I too am using ds2500 pads, :-(
 
I had those fail on me under extreme heat, and switched to the Carbon Lorraine RC6's. the CL pads are a massive leap above your DS2500 but seem to eat the wheels more.

if you wouldn't mind:up: letting me know how the sealer works it would be appreciated. I hope its not been a waste of £25 quid, but the picture of my wheel is after a soaking in wheel cleaner, a scrub with a scourer pad and a rinse with a pressure washer, so fingers crossed you have better luck than me
 
Will do, it's called carbon collective platinum alloy sealant, on trackdays I only stay out for about 5 laps then pop bk in for 10 mins or so, so hope they work all day, used them at Blyton track, but that's flat track and easy on brakes, cadwell is hard on brakes, so I'll see, need to upgrade my shocks, but don't won't coil overs, do you know of any good ones?
 
To be fair I would go coil over, but that's just me. I run AST. Shock wise the guys up here seem to run standard cup with either eibach or cook sport springs with great results too......
 
Yes I have eilbach and are ok, just won't to upgrade shocks too, white line arb is good too, but think I still have too much roll in fast hard corners
