Thinking of taking the genuine CSL wheels off to keep them mint & buying some lightweight race wheels, any suggestions what to go for + best place to buy from???

Corrr ! ... where did you get them ??

Is weight reduction for what we are doing a major issue? I think not, get some TD 1.2's on there !

Loads of posts about this on here too.

I forgot about those ones, they aren't E88 thought mate, R-GT or something from memory - love them still but e88 are my favourites, though mega money!

Sorry to resurrect yet another thread but I need you track addicts advice,

I decided to use my OEM 19 CSL's with Pirelli Corsa road tires (non semi-slick) and go for OZ Ultraleggera as Shane recommended.

Could someone please enlighten me the benefits of going with 18" rather than 19" to a semi-slick newbie like me ? Is it only because square setup allows for front and rear tire rotation and slightly lower cost ? Or am I missing something like a handling benefit as well ?

Thanks,
