Force racing split rims.

[FILFAN]

Been looking for new wheels recently and came across force racing at autosport. They do some nice looking stuff and wondered if anyone had any experience of them.

They gotta nice looking split rim quite similar to cxr's which I'm tempted with.

The wheels are very light and Pete did a group buy a few years ago and I got a set.

 

They don't have a tyre retaining lip on the rim which I understand means that they are strictly not road legal but I doubt anyone would notice.

 

With CXRs no more, not much choice in our sizes.

 

Also check Image but they are more expensive again.

Yeah I would live some image rims

Very nice, something else to save for

Just clicked on the link , very nice wheels

 

On a separate note 

 

 

I believe I know who has bought the moulds for the CXR wheels I can make tentative enquries as to whether they plan to do anything or have just bought them to stop them being reused .

Karl makes exceptional wheels - very talented engineer.

 

I have a set of 13's in the DSY pattern (the ones you're looking at) for sprinting and would say they're one of the best upgrades I've made since owning the car. They're ridiculously light (quite a bit lighter than an equivalent Image rim in my experience) yet strong and very well finished - then on top of that you factor-in the price difference as XTR2Turbo mentioned above.

They will be if you have the second set with you while your sprinting :D
