Ok so, 8th set of wheels incoming. Swapped the 200 cups for a set of Sparco's off of Nick197RS!
Purchased a stud conversion set from ED this week which arrived literally next day, was planning on getting them in yesterday but weather told me different, so ended up putting the Sparco's on as a temp.
Surprising how much of a different the half inch from 8j to 7.5j makes on a 215/45. My previous Ultraleggeras sat 3.7mm shy of these but the tyre is hella more chunkier to the arch!
Not much planned with these, just gonna use them over the wetter months to save scrubbing up the Cup Racers every weekend!

So, after being inactive with doing anything to the car for awhile, I had one of them months spending out on what I’ve wanted for a while.
First up was the Elite D stud conversion. Have wanted this for a long time due to the fact it’s more peace at mind for me running spacers as I’ve had a very bad experience before! Went in very well, pleased with the build quality, only bad point is the black coating isn’t the toughest. Just need to get my adjustable mounts in and get the back down a tad more.
Finished the widths off with Pure Motorsport front and rear spacers. 19 & 21mm.
So, I had the seats out giving them a good scrub up and thought I’d remove the cage and get it up for sale temporary - with that it sold the same day! So now I’ve upgraded to the same cage plus the harness bar with a nice set of Sabelts to finish, just need some fixed seats now.
Oooooh, and a genuine Cup Racer wheel to match!

Looks great Olli. I know I've said it before but I really like this change in direction you've had with it!

Appreciate that mate - glad I’ve seen the light now. Makes the car 100% more fun! Didn’t go with the SD cage in the end, so going to use the spare money elsewhere!
Thanks Chris, enjoying it much more now! Great cars!
