Cheap cups for track wheels for someone ?

Windowlicker · 24-02-2009, 10:39 PM

These are on flea bay, good few track days left in them by the sound of it, potential bargain for a 2nd set of wheels

The rears are the wrong size for the CSL!

there cup+ not the same thing

Windowlicker · 24-02-2009, 11:49 PM

Doh,

hadnt noticed the rears size

Out of interest dave,what makes these +'s ???

I think theyre designed for the new M3.

Slightly different tread pattern and theyre meant to be better in wetter / colder condition compared to the original cups.

bigger wider grooves hence less surface area and grip and different rubber compounds

a better compromise for road/track maybe but not up to CUPs

Yeah, Cup+ not the same. Think the compound is different, rears are 35 profile not 30 and the outer bands with the dash tread have an additional thin groove.
