As things stand, I reckon I will go for a simple replacement boss (no quick release), and a dished wheel to bring it in closer for more control. As I now have harnesses, this is a logical next step. Thinking about:

or

http://www.jjcraceandrally.com/race/...de-330mm-black

Both are 330mm diameter. I prefer the look of the first one, but am a bit concerned that the dish may be too, um, deep? (95mm). The second one has a shallower dish of 39mm. Feedback / opinions / experience welcome

Have also booked on a trackday at Rockingham in May, where they include more-or-less free access to their wet grip area. This sealed the deal for me, as I really want to increase my confidence with handling oversteer. Exciting times!


Hi
Had the omp corsica fitted to my blob(95mm deep dish also) fitted to a hkb boss(these fit perfectly and come with airbag turn off and indicator self cancelling) but with a 350mm wheel as always found the 320 and 330mm wheels i had in the past to be too small.

feels so much better than the original wheel (but am 6ft5 so helped with legroom as well) also my boy has same wheel in his s15 and loves it
