Probably the wrong thread (I couldn't find one for "spotted").....
Spotted a dark green Aero heading south late this morning, in the rain, Cadnam to Lyndhurst. Anyone on here ?
That would be me - was taking my car (and the spare damaged wheel) to a place in Lymington where they make (from aluminium billet) wheels.
We took one of my front wheels off so we could scan the brakes and hub carrier, and took myriad measurements from my wheel.
Very helpful chap said he'd put together the CAD stuff and get back to me within a few weeks.
Turns out a bare 9x18 magnesium wheel weighs 8.4kg. He's confident he can get very close to that in aluminium in a near identical design so that we can keep the aesthetics.
If an aluminium wheel can be made which is comparable in weight to the magnesium wheels i see no downside to this change.
