Title: Finally decided Brabus wheels are not for me
Post by: 9582djk 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.

Any videos- pics or times?
Hope the 'green hell' didnt dent you or your fellow drivers.

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?

mine are 17" and are stupidly wide alloys with stretched tyres

not suitable for racing
