Track days have definitely taken a step up in the last couple of months, as excitement and interest has boomed. We were very pleased …

We are so excited, it’s that time of the month again and Killarney is hosting its monthly Streetcar open track day.

8.5J x 19″ – weight: 8.3 kg
9.5J x 19″ – weight: 9.5 kg
Which, in comparison with their standard BMW counterparts (e.g. Performance Twin Spoke 269), give a weight …
