I am Busy ordering a new car from Tony at the moment, and he has told me that he will fit 15 inch Knock ons for me. Like Cashburn says there are some awesome developments that Tony is working on, I am trying to have him fit all of them to my new car so that it will be sort of a guinea pig.The new cars have come a long long way from the early BDR's.
The 17 inch wheels were neccesitated by the use of the M3 or Sport brakes and suspension options on the cars. the discs on the M3 are too large to fit inside a 15 inch wheel. with the new brakes he is using the 15" can fit as I undertsand it.
I am going down to the factory today for a social visit, will ask him about it in more specific detail.
I found that my performance cars Venom with the M3 and sport suspension upgrades gave a harsh ride on the streets of South Afdrica, even after Tony modified the chassis with all the BDR upgrades. so My new car will have standard Suspension and 15" wheels. the Sport brakes in my opinion were overkill for Street use as was the 17" wheels, Yes the car handled like a Go Cart, but for driving normally this wasnt an issue. If you plan to use your car in anger often, then go with the 17" wheels and sport suspension.....they handle excptionally well like i said.
