changed my wheels over monday  from wide steels to genuine centrelines    i cant believe the difference to how the car   drives    now    faster aceleration ,  100% better handling  ,  the brakes even feel better  its been a long road  finding these wheels in the right offset   and   getting them to fit    600 mile journey alone for the front wheels   re sealing them after getting the tyres fitted then finding out there leaking      just a shame i couldent them on before this weekends show at volksfling  ,      only negative i missed a pair of 12 inch wide ones  the other week so the search continues now  for a pair of 12 inch for the rear

Unspeung weight has a major effect on a light buggy.

Nose cone here is post 72 with the 3 hole mounting and with hole position they cannot be drilled to suit earlier mounts.
