Damdy-Cash Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi Jake and thanks, can't help you realy, but you have sorted the 1380 or 1381 question at least for me. I was all the time struggling with that. Fuller look, sound good to me!! Cheers Volker German Sevener in Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwaters Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Christian (at Comp) did say that you get less space for brakes on the 1380 wheel - I didn't follow up to see if it would be enough to suit my car (LA) so it might be worth checking what space you need for rear DD discs before deciding on style alone. Personally, I think the 1381 is the way to go, it'll match the front much better which isn't deep enough to be dished. Phil Waters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremybu Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 As I said earlier, no one had 1380s and there were no clearance issues reported so I wouldn't fit 1380s myself. 1.6 SV - GJ02JLO - If there's one thing I've learned, it's that it should have been something else.

jakeandlizzy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 That sounds like a plan then...so what are we up to? About 3 or 4 sets so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racing Snake Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Ok can someone tell me how quickly i can get my hands on a set ? Or shall i go direct ? Tea Party Chairman Mad Hatter Racing - Feel The Duralight R Torque 😬 Carl Van Baars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremybu Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 It looks like 4 sets on here but there has been some interest on PMs. I'm waiting for the other 2 to advise and if they are still in, we have the 6 needed I think. 1.6 SV - GJ02JLO - If there's one thing I've learned, it's that it should have been something else.

taffyracer Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm after 2 sets of 7"/9" rear for my CSR, spoken to compomotive yesterday and i'm happy to add mine to the order if it helps but I need them for the 5th Nov so need to order direct in the am if not?

jeremybu Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Dom's would put the order to 7 sets which is enough. There needs to be rapid movement to satisfy Dom so I'll email the forms tomorrow. I'm away for a week on Friday so you all need to sort ASAP. I'll speak to Compo to see if they can accept the orders direct so things can carry on next week. 1.6 SV - GJ02JLO - If there's one thing I've learned, it's that it should have been something else.

Damdy-Cash Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Hi Phil and many thanks to point out the space issue. I go save and take now the 1381. Not fancy to have unusable wheels. Jeremy: I haven't got the form? cheers Volker Here are some more pics here here here here and for the overview the others from the prvious posts here here German Sevener in Scotland Edited by - Damdy-Cash on 21 Oct 2009 22:11:07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeandlizzy Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yes, send us the forms and we shall order.... still debating on which to get...agree with not getting the 1380s, but I have a 2002 supersport (138bhp) so nothing too powerful so should I go with 8" or 7" rear wheels? This car is for normal daily driving (when I pretend like I am on the track) and a few track days. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damdy-Cash Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hi Jeremy, could you please clarify? Would be great. BTW: Are the center caps included or how we get they? Cheers Volker German Sevener in Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeandlizzy Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Great, so anyway, 7" or 8" for the rear on a 138bhp supersport? I am edging toward the 7" myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwaters Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 With 138bhp, I'd go with 7" rears - you'll either run 185's or max 205's which are suited to 7". The 205 is a bit of a stretch on the 8" so is the minimum you can fit, anything larger is going to be too much for your power level.

steve hall Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 What size would you fit front and rear for 160bhp? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwaters Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 As no one else has answered 6" fronts and 7" rear with 160bhp. If you plan to upgrade to 200ish then maybe go with 8" rears now to avoid wanting to increase wheel size later. I'd also stick with 185 widths all round at that power level.

jakeandlizzy Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I need wheels now as well. I have the basic mini wheels coming off for powder coating and need the wheels as the Caterham is my only car (besides the gixxer). In any case, I found a guy (who also sells on eBay) who will sell me a set of 6" fronts, 8" rear (though I will get 7s) for 363 gbp delivered. I am recomfirming tonight so if interested in this let me know. I was willing to stick it out and pay more to support the bulk buy, but sadly I do need to get it done! I will post back tomorrow (or this eve maybe) if this deal is still available. If it is not, I will stick with the bulk buy and just have to deal with it!

catastrada Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 May be tempted by 1 set too. 7 front and 8,5 rear. My main concern is about offsets: Front: to be sure the wheel won't touch the wing stay Rear: to be sure the wheel won't touch the AP caliper (uprated rear brakes). Can anybody tell me if those offsets are OK: 7x13 ET20 front and 8,5x13 ET24 rear ? Edited by - Catastrada on 16 Nov 2009 11:32:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
