Darryl S. Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 Maybe you'd like to offer a discount scheme on the 3 piece superlites that you sell Superliteman? (Do you know Performance wheels in Aus.? I was blasted on the phone when I mentioned Superlite!!) eek.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superliteman Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 In reply to Alex's comments , you are quite right caterham have never used Minilite as OE equipment but from 1986 to 1997 caterham used British made superlite wheels as supplied by Performance Industries UK Ltd , Kington , Herefordshire of which in 1997 the name was changed to Superlite Wheels Limited as by this time the whole world knew the name superlite but very few heard of performance. For a while caterham were then supplied by Alleycat (Two Gates Wheels) and later had their own made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Seaman Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Want to jump the queue????????? I have four 6Jx13 (Black) with CR500 from my Caterham supplied Superlight(Y67 CDS). They are 2 months old and have done 1300 road miles (500 spent running the engine in, plus 600 miles on A Roads going to Oulten Park last weekend). New from Caterham the wheels are £78 each, the tyres £117 each ; total £780. From me...£450 and the buyer collects/pays for delivery. An absolute bargain or not? Let me know... max seaman made up name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Seaman Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 Too late, new wheels and tyres already have already completed their first high speed test - got so carried away that I managed to get 29.78 litres of fuel in the tank! The engine cut out as I changed down to turn into the garage. Rolled silently, but majesticly to a halt next to the pumps - which was nice. Thanks anyway. max seaman made up name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Morris Posted August 24, 2001 Author Share Posted August 24, 2001 Have received one very good question, which I felt required an urgent posting. Q - Do the advertised prices include postage costs A - Sorry, they don't however, the order form does ask if you want to pick them up yourself? The wheels are boxed in pairs and all buyers should be aware that if you are buying a set of four you'll need a large car. Hope that this has not caused to many people confussion.

Rob Morris Posted August 24, 2001 Author Share Posted August 24, 2001 In answer to the question about the wheels on offer and where they are manufactured, please be assured that they are the genuine articles as fitted to current Caterhams and produced by KN wheels. Likewise, they are being supplied via a local stockist / dealer and not direct from the factory. Please don't think that they may turn out to be cheap and nasty as per the Ausie versions I hope that this addresses any fears. Alternativley ask the people who had them last time!

KayTee Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 Let me jump-in, Rob ! (HI, by the way smile.gif If we're talking about Superlite Wheels, then I can add to the topic. I got my set out of the last bulk purchase. - 5 fit in the trunk of a VW Golf no problem ! - shipping was a joke, as in, 20-odd quid TO GERMANY - they're the puppie's beanies regarding quality! I'd buy a seciond set of four just for slicks, if I didn't need instruments and a propshaft ... Go for it !! Best - Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, being a complete novice as far as teh mechanics of my 7 go, how do I tell what spacing I need for the wheels?, I know it's a dedion rear axel. The car used to be a 1400 Kseries racer.

Casbar Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 I was at Castle Coombe on Saturday. I got talking to the guy from Superlite wheels. I asked him about prices, he told me that club members get 10% discount from them. I mentioned the deal Rob is putting together, he was at great pains to explain that this time the wheels are not from Superlite, but K&N. He said last time he supplied the wheels.

Rob Morris Posted September 4, 2001 Author Share Posted September 4, 2001 Sorry to "piss on his chips" but he is 100% wrong! The wheels I'm going to supply this time are identical to the last offer i.e. they are made by two gates who are KN Wheels who are also Revolution Wheels. Hence why the wheels are called Minitor and NOT Minilite. For the last time these wheels are identical to the standard Caterham Wheels, no more and no less! I would assume from his claim that he was trying to promote his wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
