888 wheels

[chrisgettings]

iv got a friend who has come across 3 x 888 18" wheels and he has asked how me how much he should pay for them

anybody know what they cost new and what he should be paying for them second-hand

[spoons]

I paid £60 each for mine from 888, but they were 'second hand'

I think 888 charge around £750 for a new set of four

But, I take it that they are genuine 888 wheels and not the aftermarket 'Team Dynamics' wheels... as there is a difference, even though they are from the same company

888 wheels are more expensive than the Team Dynamics 'shop' ones

Now who is a snob!! The only difference is 3 little 8's and about £350

Hey behave !!

You calling Tony Pilcher at 888 Race Engineering a liar then?

EDIT: But you are correct, the 'average' car wont notice any performance gains/differences

shhhhhhhhhhhh dont tell anybody but it's my next mod to take wheel off and make it a 3 wheeler

Whats the difference then?,i know the centre bore doesn't use a spigot ring and the rim is a plain casting, but they use the same centre cap,so do 888 pay for a special mix of alloy or for a ultra fine balancing because Thorney seem happy with the ordinary Team Dynamics wheels, it's the same situation as the strut brace,one company was charging 150 quid but we all know the exactly the same item is available for 120 quid from other sources.

Hah hah, the three wheeler is different; save your money on one less tyre and wheel...

as some think Team Dynamics pro 1.2 are the same wheel but there not ,,,the bore is the right size 65.1mm and the et is right too, this means no spacer for the wheel to fit the car
