Superlite Wheels

[Fred]

Can anyone tell me if Classic Superlite Wheels are ok to fit to a new Caterham with big brakes, sizes 6 on front and 7 on rear? Is the offset ok? They also do a wheel called the ML Range - what is the difference? Also what is best, Superlite or Minotor, to be used for track days.question.gif Thanks in advance.

Superlite 6" wheels fitted over my big brakes (1.6K with Caterham brake upgrade) with no worries. I also bought a set of their Ultralite split rims in 6" and 7" - v.pleased with them and they were helpful when ordering. So thats a thumbs up then...

I had a set of 'Ultralites'(13x6.5) all round, but had some problems with wheel balancing (distorted rims) and tyre pressures (air loss through the split rims).

 

Superlite were very helpful and agreed to exchange them for a set of one piece wheels (6" fronts and 7" rears). These were excellent. Interestingly there wasn't a geat deal of difference in weight between the one piece and the three piece wheels.

 

Caterham dealers, Millwood (01453-544321), have a very good deal on genuine Minilite wheels. A set of four with black centres and polished rims are about £350.

im just about to purchase some 13x6 inchers from superlite, if you ask you'll get 10% off for L7Club, so this brings the cost of the standard wheels to about 60 quid..bargain!

 

I also looked into compomotive, they are heavier and more expensive
