The orange KB10 is mine. I bought it from Rob (username on here is Bert). Rob fitted the 10" wheels to lower the gearing and COG. It works beautifully and gets a lot of comments at every race meet.

Personally, I like 13" and 14" wheels with some dish on older cars. I'm not a fan of bigger wheels with really low profile tyres. I don't believe they suit older cars and compromise the ride/handling balance too much.

Having said that I run 15" wheels on my 1200 due to the size of the front brakes. However, I preferred the look of the car when I had 14s on it.
