Oh that is nice!! I'm a big fan of the murdered out all black look, but I must say this looks brilliant!!
Pretty much ready to go for track, where you thinking of heading?
They’re cheap, strong and have a better offset than standard. Only downside is they’re quite a bit heavier than an aftermarket alloy.Are Silverstones a preferable track wheel? See quite a few getting them for use as track wheels, is it just down to them being cheap?

Thanks guys.
Same here, original plan was black wheels or silver but I’m liking the bronze now!
Track wise I’m thinking local-ish for now so I’ve got Brands / Lydden Hill are the nearest or may stretch to Rockingham / Snetterton / Bedford.
Shame Goodwood is so expensive as it’s only about 20mins from me!
Can't be too far from @Micah then! Wouldn't mind doing Brands but it always looks pricey when I look into it!
The only issue I have with them is the change in offset (and narrowing the rim also) will potentially adversely effect the handling by moving the wheel well outside the centre of the effective centre point of the just like spacers do, I have seen many times have you seen it written that spacers made handling worse, well different offset/width wheels are just the same, Ive bought some 197 rims in need of refurb as winter rims for my 200 cupThey’re cheap, strong and have a better offset than standard.

I think they’re better for trackdays. Wider track front and rear. Plus they fill the arches better which aesthetically is much nicer. Only talking mm’s but I wish I had a few more!The only issue I have with them is the change in offset (and narrowing the rim also) will potentially adversely effect the handling by moving the wheel well outside the centre of the effective centre point of the just like spacers do, I have seen many times have you seen it written that spacers made handling worse, well different offset/width wheels are just the same, Ive bought some 197 rims in need of refurb as winter rims for my 200 cup
How do you find them compared to a normal cup or 200 rim?
