Need some wheels for track that will fit over my 4 pots, my pro race 1.2's are ET35 offset and fit with about 3mm clearance, how ever the ph2 wheels i currently have need best part of 10mm more clearance

Yeah but how much do they weigh.....weight of wheels is VERY important as its unsprung weight, and round a track counts about 6 times as much as sprung weight

Tempted to just run my ph2 ones with something like 10mm spacers and just chew up the bearings on track days

I'm in Essex, but sorry, I wasn't really looking to sell mine (although for the right price...), just commenting from my own experience that your choice of wheel was a great one. They are one of the lightest wheels on the market (well over a kilo lighter per wheel than the ProRace 1.2s) and have masses of clearance, even around the 4-pots...

They don't make them anymore so you'll probably have to source secondhand. I spent over 6 months looking for a set and finally found 2 sets within a couple of weeks so bought both! :lol:

What about clearance infront of the caliper, can you do me a favour and measure from the disc to the wheel and see how much space there is please

Just measured it, from face of discs need 55-60mm clearance to the spoke on the wheel, ie out at right angles to face of disc

Yep, Ultraleggeras are pretty good too. Only about 0.5 kg heavier than the Superleggeras.

I'll get those measurements for you tomorrow.

for a 15"x7" 52.kg for the supers, 5.6kg for the ultra's

Just need to find some cheap lol

The spokes sort of bend away from the inside towards the rim. Near the hub I think there is about 55mm of space, measured from the face of the brake disc, rising to about 60mm if measured at the edge of a 259mm disc.

Thats cool, thats about the same as the pro race 1.2's, need to find some supers now, or find someone to measure some ultras
