5401 L7 rings a bell, but just have a look on servicebox, they have gone up in price though, around £60 a piece now, hence my £80 a set was a bargain  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I may have to jump on this C5 bandwagon.How much clearence is there over '6 brakes? Can't be any worse than speedlines, but worth knowing. ________________________________________ |

you don't use stick on weights on C5 wheels, so you'll be fine, also the C5 uses a 283mm disc though a little thicker very similar offsets to a 306.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Yip, knock on weights and no issues with clearance. Im not 100% convinced that the C5's are the best wheels for brake cooling, when used hard on track, but theres no disputing the benefits in unsprung weight at the corners. Downside is they look a bit "plain"? ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

no worse than any other 15x6 wheel I'd imagine though obviously some wheels are designed specifically to keep the brakes cool, not many are.if you're worried add some brake cooling ducting  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

what about the superleggera/ultraleggera I keep seeing them marked up as magnesium,..I'm thinking that's bollox for the price they go for but mine seem to be lighter than cyclones 16" running 195 50 16 tyres but haven't weighed one so don't quote me! ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

I think leggeras are forged not cast. Makes them light and strong but not mg. |

Pretty sure I've read on here you need to be carefull where balancing weights are placed,or they will touch calipers So pretty close Have to do that with speed lines. Had some weights on the inside edge and they rubbed the calipers. ________________________________________ |
