Has anyone tried 17/18" wheel combo? Any input would greatly be appreciated. Not a good idea, as the larger tires may not reach the correct operating temp. This type of "improvement" is not suggested for a car like the Elise. I have 17 inch wheels at the front and 18 in the back. 215/45-17 and 235/40-18. Dunlop Direzza R-tires. Looks fantastic and grip is even more fantastic! With Nitron Dampers the roadholding on the racetrack is unbeatable! Now i'm just waiting to get some more power. Going to put in a 220 hp k-series engine the following week.
Bought the wheels from germany www.komo-tec.de Goose, the tires for the larger diameter wheels won't have any greater surface area -- just the wheels get larger. Very cool looking wheels. Do you have any specs? Everything you need to know is here:
http://www.komo-tec.com/product_info...58/language/en Fredric, there was a lot of discussion about these wheels earlier. Too bad you missed it.. could you please post more pics though? I plan on getting these in the near future. Here are some more pics.. the front doesn't look too good on theese pics though.. Another one Nice pic, the 2nd one didnt show for some reason though. Its hard to tell, are those "black anthrazit metallic" or alloy color? They are black anthrazit. I definately recommend them! Very thight fit as you can see but it looks awsome! i searched the dunlop site for those tires and cant seem to find them Thanks for the info guys. Anyone else running 17" and 18"? Pictures please.
