Great News, have finaly got some wheels.
7x15" OZ Superturismos. With the tyres that I wanted for the front which is a Bonus. The rears I'm fitting are the Drag Radials 225/50/15, for all the timed runs etc. Just got to get some 16" wheels for the rear when it's in road trim. But at least I can now set the car up with these, as the different rears will end up the same rolling Diameter.

Picked up the wheels yesterday. They where not in great condition, but I will be painting them any way so not realy a Problem.

Just came back from Le Mans, over 20 Replica GT40's there and near 20 Original cars where racing. Fantastic weekend, a must for any old car nut.

And we spoke to the driver of this car, apartently he take's most of the corners with his foot flat on the floor...... A Series at Le Mans that I didn't expect...

Mini Marcos for people who didn't know what it is..... And they did race them at lemans in the 60's
