Hi 

 

Getting some wheels made and planning the trye side of things. 

 

What's people's recommendations. 

Looking at 315, either 30 or 35 side wall unsure as yet. 

Stock body, yellow billies so not lowered. 

Looking at semi slick as it's dry use only. 

 

R888R are only available from the USA as far as I can tell. 

 

Any other personal opinions on which to go for.

You might struggle to fit the wheels with the stock, yellow Bilsteins still on the car. They're quite fat. I had to remove mine and fit BC coilovers when I put my CCW's on (also 11.5/18).

As far as tyres go, I've run Michelin Pilot Sports (2's I think) and they've been great. 315/30/18. Tyres in this size are veeeery difficult to get a hold of in the UK for some reason, I had to get mine sent from Germany last time round and were like £240 a corner from memory. I think they are some sort of standard fit for an expensive Porsche, so the markup on tyres in this specific size is ridiculous.

Let me know if you find a good source for them in the UK if you decide to go down that route please :) I don't think I'm too far away from needing a new set

Just a quick Google search came up with loads ranging from £223 each. 

 

Are the ones listed correct?

Good find, thanks for that!

 

Hopefully they don't run out of stock any time soon as I'll need a couple months to recover and buy these!

Funny you should say that. 

 

Got refunded this morning so back on the hunt for these. 

Damn, that happened to me a few times too. They were just floating around on random websites where the price was too good to be true and I got refunded a few days later to say it was an error or something. Sucks
