bignum Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 There`s normally some on ebay mate, not sure what the 18" sizes are though, something like.. 260/610/18? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 BMTR in Birmingham can recommend a suitable Avon slick and supply. Dunlop Motorsport similarly for Dunlop slicks. There are hundreds of different compounds and constructions, get proper advice! You do know many track day organisers ban slicks on cars without a full roll cage?

Chris Wilson Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 http://www.bmtr.co.uk/history.htm Not sure what Avon are like on 18 inch tyres, all my race stuff is 13 inch. Paul Smith is the head man (and owner) at BMTR, he races F1 and knows his stuff, he will offer good advice. http://www.dunlopdriversclub.co.uk/tyres/specialistTyres/motorsportRange/circuit/ I have an account with them, buy unless you are buying more than 5 sets at a time I can't get you any discount, Dunlop are tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 They look perfect size for me, ill give him a call, thanks Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Tell him exactly what you want them for, he's a fairly clued up guy. If you ever wanted those flash centre lock adaptors making we talked about, he's probably the man for rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
