How many wheels do you have?
 

Just wondering what most other people do with regards to track days as far as wheels go. In short I have 15 spare wheels bouncing around the garage et al. I should point out that not all of these are for the CSL.

As far as the CSL goes I have four wheels with Cups on and two spare fronts with 'wet weather' tyres (Pirellis actually- not my choice) and then another buckshee front with no tyre on for refurbishment purposes. My thinking is that I seem to get so much brake dust on the fronts after a track day (obviously not so much on the rears) that I would be constantly refurbishing them if I kept them on for normal daily use. Hence the two spare fronts with 'wet weather' tyres.

So do most other track day attendees also have a spare set with wet weather tyres on ie not Cups.

All in all it means she looks her best when not on track.

Is this thread pointless - ??? No awards please. Just keeping in line with the 'Shimmy' regular new thread policy :whistle:.

Ps I use RS19 pads....or is it 29s for track days.

I think currently you have more than me.

Excluding what are on the cars now I have

4x ZCP Competion rims :beer: no tyres

4x Volks G2 with worn Michelin Cups

4x Smax 17" with Michelin winter tyres

1x CSL front with Michelin PS2


Then of course the tyre mountain of

8x Michelin Cups 18"

4x Michelin PS2 (set of worn keeping for training days)

4x Nankang out the back waiting for a skip (previous training day spares)

Did shimmy pay you to start this thread up?

Good thread.... I actually need to work this out now.

I'll have you know it is 50% less than this time last year :smokin:

And I'm sure Dunc and Lawsy will have more.

Absolutely not BillyboysM3 but I shall be showing Shimmy's answer to my wife next time she compalins about my wheel collection.

I've got 2 sets of CSL rims, one in black with cups on for the summer, one with Eagle F1's on in sliver for the winter.

Thinking of changing the black to some other color but can't decide what? Maybe bright red like the gen 2 rs's or balls out day glo green or yellow but not sure if I have the balls to go with those colors.

I only have :whistle:

1 x set CSL rims with cups

1 x set CSL rims with Continental Sports for the wet

2 x spare rear cup tyres

Now, where is that Gayest Thread of the Day award...? :banghead:

On your mantelpiece?

:hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

:whistle: though Jimbo might want a piece of it ;)

Gay thread.

I get away with 12 stock 18" rims, 4 with Dunlop slicks and 8 with Toyo R888 for when there is a chance of rain.

I'm keen to try a set of proper wets. A damp morning at Rockingham recently showed some cars with them to be unbelievably quick in the rain.

And unbelievably quick into the barrier (that's my philosophy on wet track driving)

Mine too, I used to drive the same wet or dry, now I dont bother. I just get a cup of tea now if it rains. Leave that to the heroes:supz:

4 x Oz ultraleggera 20 x 10 with 295 30 20 888s (*GTR*)
4 x Oz ultraleggera 19x 8.5, 19x11, 235-35-19 305-30-19 888s Pork 997 Turbo:whistle::smt055
4 x standard 997 turbo wheels
4 x compomotive cxr for the bathtub
4 x pro race 1.2 for the bathtub
4 x volvo s60 alloys
and Im sure there a couple more sets upstairs too.

and about 1 million tyres thrown in for good measure.

Majority are getting sold.

1 x set 18" oem with winter tyres, CSL is parked over winter time

thats enough for garage queen :)

I am not sure everyone got this thread :moan:. It was meant to be those tyres/wheels OVER and above the ones you have on your car. I think it goes without saying you have a set on the car. Unless of course your car is parked up north outside in which case it is probably on bricks and all your wheels are in the kitchen.

Pip ;)

Don't worry, they are all thick, you'll never get them to understand :thumbs:

Hehe, ok here goes:

4 x Bmw 19" that came with the car from the factory (non CSL style) with brand new Yokohama AVS. Never use these really.

8 x OZ Ultraleggera 18", all with 265 cups in different state of deterioration :whistle:

3 x CSL rears without rubber

1 x CSL front without rubber


The CSL front and rears might need an explanation :-D Since my car came with the non-CSL wheels from the factory I thought I'd get a CSL set, no rush though. So I've bought a wheel here and a wheel there ending up with 3 rears and one front :hahaha: So what I need now is either one more rear for a square setup or one more front. No rush... I intend to keep the car for a long time and I rather drive with 18" on track due to the cheaper 18" cups. Eventually I'll have a complete CSL set :thumbs:

1 x set oem csl's with cups
1 x set oem csl's with PS2s
1x set oem M3 19s with Goodyears

3 x sets of OEM all with varying life of Cups!:119:
