Wheels Opinions

[Cavyman_130]

Hi all, asking for opinions here, I have always been a fanblades but after buying a v6 288mm brake conversion kit last year and finding out they didnt fit what a bummer, and since then iv considered the cesaro/late SRi alloys, so i have done a v.quick shop and tbh i feel the cesaro wheels look better, what you's think?

[phunkymonkey]

both look good but i prefer the late sri wheels tbh!!

[Rich P]

they look just as good,but for the purpose of fitting those brakes i think you should get the sri wheels

[Gaz]

i prefer the fanblades but if the late ones were 16" i bet they would look loads better

[Cavyman_130]

hmmm decisions decisions, i like the fanblades but maybe its time for a change?

[Gaz]

buy 2 and have a different set on each side

[Cavyman_130]

lol be a bit screwed if the big brakes were on

[Gaz]

I personally dont think the 288's are worth the extra work if your having to swap wheels, having driven one i prefer the 256mm pedal feel

[Cavyman_130]

really? i thought they would be better? i have heard something bout the master cylinder needing to be uprated?

[Gaz]

If you can find an larger master cylinder to suit (assuming the vec ones will be bigger?) i bet they will be a lot nicer but on the normal cav cylinder there is a bit of travel and they need to be pressed harder than the 256's, but when they do kick in they are better but if your not hammering them just driving normally id keep the 256's

[Cavyman_130]

what bout 256 black diamond disks?

[Gaz]

never used them but never heard anything bad about them.

cesaros are the way to go

[gsi dave]

cesaros get my vote all day long mint

ive never heard of the master cylinder needing to be upgraded to get the most out of bigger brakes.i have the 288mm fitted and there is an improvement but can they be better by getting a bigger master cylinder

im guessing so mate, not sure what master cylinder that is to be used??

how much of an improvement would you say you get rich?

and you fitted those mudflaps yet

[Rich P]

havnt fitted them yet,got dozens of things to do im all over the place at the mo.TBH i thought the brakes were a huge improvement and i think it was worth the money i spent

Both sets are 15" as far as i know the only 16" ones are on the 5 stud turbo. I love the late spec wheels, but really think the fanblaldes really suit the preface lift SRi's., I'd also keep the badge on the bonnet mate. Go for the bigger brakes bud!
