Anyone got Pro Race 2s?

[wigley]

I used to have a set of black Pro Race 1s and in a moment of madness I sold them

Now I'm thinking some black Pro Race 2s would do the job but I can't find any photos of them on MINIs.

So if you've got them, even in a different colour please post some photos

Check out Rigsey's gallery, are they the ones?:-



Did you find a big difference in weight between the pro race 1s and the s spokes, just wondering if the torque and acceleration is significantly improved?

Cheers!

Yeah thats the chappies Thanks for finding them

Yes the PR1s are a lot lighter than S-spokes. Quite a lot of people have the PR1 wheel and have good things to say. Its hard to quantify the performance difference but you saving quite a few Kg off each corner so its got to be good for handling

As Rayman mentions these are mine; fitted them about 5 weeks ago.

I really noticed the difference by going to lighter rims and changing to non run flats + I like the look.

Here are some weights I took when I changed them - weighed on bathroom scales :-)

S-Lites + run flats weigh 20kg
Pro Race 2 + non run flats weigh 15kg each

I think the alloys weigh in at approx 7kg each

Hope this helps

Thanks for the info Rigsey. Where did you get them? And can I ask how much?

No problem

I got them from Demon tweaks; I think they were £699 including Falken tyres (very good) and delivery.

Wouldnt mind a set of these now instead of my s spokes, its amazing the difference in the way the car drives with lighter wheels. Im running very heavy 18" BK299s and if it wernt for the looks id have got rid by now. They are good when the suns out tho!

No need - you already rub salt in the wounds with your recent photos in the "Favourite MINI photo" thread

Thanks Rigsey, thats where I saw them myself

Have you tried Halfords? Thats where I got my PR1s from, they had 20% off across the range including the PR2s, not sure if they're still doing the deal, but worth a look I think.
