SOLD - Metallic Grey Team Dynamics Prorace, 2x 7"x15", 2x 8"x15", with Nankang NS2R tyres*

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Now my new wheels have arrived, (with more classic looking offsets, to suit my new tub and arches), I've had a chance to remove and clean up the Team Dynamics, that were on there.

 

These are the typical staggered Proraces, in 15x7" ET40 as fronts, and 15x8" rears, ET24; I used the rears with a 10mm spacer on my car with the ZK arches. (I'm re-using the spacers with the new wheels, too).

 

The tyres are Nankang NS2R's in 205/50 15", the two fronts average around 5mm tread. The rears aren't quite on the wear bars across the width of the tyres, but getting there! (Average around 3mm across most of the tyre, but the outer edges show that exuberant cornering in the Alps and the Peaks! and are on the bars, just about).

 

The wheels have done around 25k miles, so are not absolutely perfect, one (front) has a very small stone chip, through the powder coat, and one rear has a few small scuff marks that do not go through the powder coat, courtesy of a funny shaped French curb, that I barely kissed at very slow speed, while leaving the hotel car park.  The inside surfaces show a few more signs of use, as you'd expect, but are ok for the age/miles.

 

Will take £400, call it £375 collected, as I could do with the space, from a WSCC member.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stone chip: (easily touched in).

 

 

Scuff in the powder coat:

 

 

Front tyre no1.

 

Front no2.

 

Rear no1.

 

Rear no2.

 

Collection from Sandbach, 10 mins from M6 Jn17, only. Thanks

just heading out to a clients, now, will check when I get back this afternoon. (It’s been a bit of a deluge PM and email wise this last couple of weeks! I may have just missed it!)

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Bump, these are in the way a bit now, would take £375, just to get some garage space back!

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

A weekend bump, as they're still sat here!

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Now on Social Media. And the chip etc touched up.

They were just cheap, no-name jobs. Nothing special. I can’t even remember where from, now. But I’ll have a look.

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Sorry, there’s nothing about them in my email history etc, though I can see receipts for the wheel nuts purchased around the same time.

Hi Dave

I am interested in the wheels.

I have a 2004 Westfield ZKF (Fixed rear wing) 

My current wheels are 15" / 7J  / ET 37 (195/55) and I have approx 15mm gap between sidewall and inner edge of rear arch. Will I be able to fit the 8J / ET40 rears without them fouling??

Cheers

This is a really helpful site for comparing wheel/tyre fit:

 

https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=195&aspect=55&diameter=15&wheelwidth=7&offset=37&width2=205&aspect2=50&wheel_size=15&wheel_width=8&offset2=24

 

 

As you can see, the wheel/tyre combination would extend approx 25.7mm further out, than the current wheels.

Hi Dave 

Yes excellent web-site.

So rim/tyre (rear) will protrude an additional 25.7mm did you experience any issues re contact between wheel and arch.

I'm sure Dave wouldn't have had tyre contact, given how well he builds and maintains his cars. However this doesn't mean you won't as no two Westfields are the same and there's too many variables involved. 

 

If you space your wheel out, temporarily with washers on the wheel studs by 26mm. You'll be able to see if you're likely to have a problem. Though please don't drive like this

Hate to say this but they probably will catch. I had the same issues on my fixed rear arches.  I got so bored with the limitations that I cut the arches,  every now and again they would still catch on bumpy corners

Hi RJR - Thanks for your comment much appreciate
