Cheap cups for track wheels for someone ?
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

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.

That's it. Nice pics boys. Forgot the inner dashes also have thin diagonal grooves on the Cup+.
