Just picked up this e-mailed query:

"Having purchased an immaculate low mileage RS I have decided to do a few track days.

I have been advised to buy some Cup 1 or 2 wheels to save the original magnesiums. The wheels I have come across are 9 and 7 inches as opposed to 7.5 on the front.

Will this affect the set up of the car?

And could you recommend some road legal track day tyres for 7 and 9 inch wheels? "
 
Easy! Make sure the Cups are ET 55 if OE Porsche and fit 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 Michelin Pilot Cup. You then get less understeer in the corners than with 205/50/17s

If your a cheapskate there are miss sized Dunlops at cheap prices but my MPCs are holding up well after 9+ trackdays. You pay your money and make your choice.
