Awesome wheels. What sizes are you running?

I nominate you for the "coolest wheels" thread.

Very nice!! But that would be an RS/CS replica

I'm not far behind you, my RS aerokit is going on now and a G50/30 is going in as soon as that's done.

wish list is a RS shift rod, latest price just under 400 Euros

and Jeans GT2 aluminum doors, but they are outta my league

Thats what I mean. Wish it fit without switching the nose covers to a C2 cover. I like the C4 cover more.

hey nono, what do you think of the 8/32 upgrade? I've been thinking of getting that myself. Supposedly it really "wakes up" the car. Did you keep the internal ratios stock?

Here is what a stock G50/21 looks like

here is what a G50/21 w/ 8:32 looks like

here is what a G50/30 Supercup looks like

The 8:32 is a surprsingly good substitute, at least in gear ratios, for the G50/30, it still has too large an rpm drop in the top ratios though

Yeah.....the 3000 rpm drop between first and second is atrocious. That's as bad as my 1962 MGB.

What else is different with the G50/30 besides internal ratios? Is the case the same?

JoH.

Nono, well done. How much does it weigh? Did you put in a 3.8 RS?

Bet the Gert Carnewal sold you the BBS's!

Wheels are from Gert, sunroof was just removed because of weight and look!

Total weight is near 1300kg and wheels dimensions are 225x40x18 and 265x35x18.

Thanks for your compliments !

Here is a photo taken last week-end at Magny-Cours F1 track:
