So I have decided to get another set of wheels for trackdays. Mainly so I dont have to swap over my road and track tyres every time.
I wanted lighter wheels, and not over priced. I went with Rota Grids 17 x 7.5 in white.
I know you US guys have a thing with the Rota quality, but here in the UK its not an issue. They have the same manufacturing approvals as the Team Dynamics wheels that so many race championships here have as a control wheel so thats good enough for me.
The Rotas are around 8.3kg a wheel, oppose to the 11kg Ace wheels I have. They feel alot more nimble in acceleration, braking and cornering. But most importantly a wet set of wheels and dry set. crucial with the quick changing UK weather!
Yokohama A048 225 45 17 semi slicks (dry set)
Half used but useable Uniroyal Rainsport 2 215 45 17 (wet set)
