GP 2 Alternative Wheels

[sandy59]

Just thought I'd post a picture of my new wheels, which I fitted my original Kumho tyres onto for a couple of recent track days in Italy (write up to follow).

These are Judd T122 wheels, 17 x 7.5, and offset 2mm different from the originals I believe, no spacers required and fit over the brake calipers fine, just over £400 from Turriff Tyres.
Only issue is they do protrude past the tyres so could be easily kerbed.

What sort of weight are they? Lighter than the stock wheels?

Price was for the 4 wheels, which I thought was pretty good.
Turriff Tyres have a big wheel stock but these were one of the few 7.5" wheels that fitted properly. Not sure the actual weight but relatively light, that's why there are machined cut outs in the spokes to lighten them as much as possible.

Yes to be honest they do seem cheap. I was told they're not a super lightweight wheel so not in the same league as the more expensive ones, but they didn't seem unduly heavy to me compared to others.
At the end of the day they're only for occasional track use, or could suit winter tyres I guess.
