Trophy Speedline Turini's

[Badgertrophy]

Hi all,

i am the proud new owner of a Trophy! However it doesn't have the correct Turini alloys.

Please can someone help me out as it's going to drive me insane!

45 offset please, someone has already tried to pie me with a set from a 172 cup

Cheers!

Badger

What wheels did yours have on ??

Welcome aboard Badger, I can't remember the last time I saw a set of genuine Trophy Turinis for sale but fingers crossed something turns up.

I appreciate you probably want OEM but it wouldn't hurt too much to get a tatty set of Cup Turinis and have them refurbished, although colour-match might be a challenge.

Failing that I've seen a Trophy on mint Cup Turinis and thought it looked really fresh on silver rims.

Thank you!

The car has 15" Speedline 2118's and I really don't like them, I didn't want to miss the car for the wheels though as it ticked every other box.

i can get a set of cup Turini' without too much bother but won't the different offset cause me an issue?

cheers for your replies.

It will be a wider track by 13mm. Not sure what the impact will be but it certainly won't scrub or anything like that.

I've recently been running gold Cup Turinis along with 25mm spacers without any noticeable issues, albeit just for month or two / 500 miles.

2118s should fetch good money - they're a desirable wheel.

 

[Badgertrophy]

Yeah I've no doubt I will be able to sell them without a problem, they have Pilots with half the life left in them too!
Fingers crossed I find some!

cheers

So in theory a trophy on cup turinis should handle pretty well with the +13mm track width ?? Anyone tried this ?? Better than running spacers !

And fills the wheel archs out nicely for a good look.

 

[Badgertrophy]

Sounds interesting.... Anyone with any further thoughts?

 

[Claude]

The Trophy is an outstanding handling car out of the factory. Personally I wouldn't be able to tell the difference of a few millimetres extra track width, for me spacers/different offset was more for filling the arches than anything else.

 

[Rik Perry]

Agreed.. On the road it's tough to feel a big difference but it's there... On the track will be a different story, wider front track will reduce under steer .. But then again so will lower tyre pressure or more camber.. That's why race cars need endless testing to find just a few tenths of a second a lap.. I'd be interested to try Cup fronts with trophy rears to see how that felt....

They come up quite often, it's just a case of hanging on, I sold a spare set a few weeks ago, most trophy owners have a couple of spares, you will get some just sit tight

 

[Badgertrophy]

Claude makes the most valid point, I'm not concerned about improving the handling as that's what the car is all about to begin with. I want the identity of it being a Trophy so Turini's are important.
Sounds like having cup Turinis will won't be a problem. So either way I need some!!

 

[Badgertrophy]

Cheers everyone. So excited about this car!

Congratulations on the purchase

Regarding Turinis, I have a set of Trophy and Cup offset Turinis and have not been able to notice any difference in handling and performance.
