Any advice on where I can get a good deal on some Pilot sport cups or Toyo R888's?

Much appreciated

Terry, you need to get serious Track rims - your pretty, pretty, 19" bespoke dressed variety will just not do............

www.camskill.co.uk seem to be the best price for ToyoR888 but only go up to 18" rims..........(as do most track day tyres).
235/40-18 and 265/35-18 Front and rear

Good luck with the hunt........... Cheers Karel

As Karel has stated, 19” although are available it’s very specialised with a big cost. (like over £350/tyre)
18” obviously are available as follows sizes
ToyoR888 Front
225 40 x 18
235 40 x 18 at (approx) £140each
245 40 x 18
ToyoR888 Rear
255 35 x 18
265 35 x 18 at (approx) £150each
285 30 x 18
295 30 x 18
I’m going to try the following (Note NOT Road legal)
Front 20.65 x18 Moulded Slick cut to intermediate (2nd hand cost 60-120 each)
Rear 24.64 x18 (Slick Porsche Cup Tyres) cut to intermediate (2nd hand cost 60-120 each) dependant on condition...if thats any help?

Im going to wait until the weather improves. Right now Im sensing that leaving the PS2's on the car through the winter probably makes sense - even for track days given the possibility of rain. Thereafter I might fit pilot sport cups for the summer / track...
