Finally decided Brabus wheels are not for me
« on: May 23, 2017, 11:22:12 PM »

Last weekend I went to the Nurburgring and it was superb! It is a must if you want to get the feel of a legendary track. It has been an expensive time as within the last two weeks I have had to have a new Brabus alloy and tyre in time for my trip to Germany as well as replacing a wheel bearing. I now have the bug of doing more track days and I really want some lightweight robust alloys. I have seen a Brabus on eBay with XXR alloys are these any good? Potentially I may have a set of Brabus wheels and good tyres for sale.

I have XXR - nice and good value

However, think about the tyres..... you are gonna want to pick a wheel that doesn't cost you a fortune.

16" will give you much better choice PLUS better accelleration

There are a number of race options out there.

Look at colt czt wheels

What size tyres are on your XXR alloys?
