is that 750kg with every thing on the car?

Does anyone know if those wheels are 7s? I only ask coz i have those arches on mine, and want minilites, and love the dished ones (Which i can only find in 7s) and my revo's are 9x13 so thought 7s would sit too far in? Does anyone know if that's the case? Or if the offset of them sticks them out??

i think on minilite/superlite 7s have a 0offset 9are -10 i think so the track isnt any wider overall just more rubber inwards on the car,the revos looks the nuts on your car mate

Cheers Tim (Again), and yeh they're nice, but just wanting some slimmer wheels for the winter what with our imminent rainfall!

So will still keep the revo's.

I loved the Zakspeed replica that was on the cover of Classic Ford, the white one with blue shelby stripes. That looked awesome

how do they get it so light

im trying anything i can to reduce the weight of my mk1

[JonnyT]

I'm guessing a lot of fibreglass?? Bonnet, wings, arches (Cut out all the steel underneath) doors, boot, spoiler, tailights don't look like they weigh anything either?!
