New Wheels...., ....or not, as the case may be.... Options

Remember those 18" Racing Hart multipiece CRs that I splashed out on a while back? The deal of the century?

Hurrah!






Remember we discussed the old "clearing the calipers" thing?

Ah. Bugger.



Bugger bugger bugger bugger bugger.



And further more, bugger.

I tried 5mm shims. Not even close. I tried 10mm shims. No dice.

I can comprehensively say that 18x8 racing Hart CRs do not fit on a ST205. The brakes on this thing are stupidly big. This is only a bad thing when you have damn near 2 grand of wheels and tyres you're trying to fit.

Which is a shame, because they looked rather good. Flat spokes seem to be the problem.


Can anyone suggest a decent set of wheels that are strong, light and we know clear the brakes? And would suit a red ST205?

I'm about to open a beer.

Blin fella

they look so sorted.......... ok so you can't return them, but isn't there a wheel/tire place near you that could sort you some part x on them ????

i think i would have said a bit more than that....... plus shed some tears no doubt...............

but, after having 'both' door windows smash the other weekend, just for a cheap radio.... i got my windows back in saturday at -15...... it's this balance thing mate, you'll find some better ones and get a better price on them, you'll see.....
