What size tire and wheel do you use? I'm looking for a similar set up for my vee.

What is your size and what size driver will be most comfortable? Is there adjustability in the chassis for a taller driver?

I am 5'9.5" & 165lbs. BRD's can accomodate much taller/bigger drivers: http://vallismotorsport.com/the-brd/

Thank you, I'm going to look around to find the wheels.

I have a 1992 BRD, and I'm 225 and 5'9". I poured a partial foam seat for the lower back arch, and sit on 3/4" dense foam pad. I'm VERY comfortable and locked in nicely.

Xavier, looks like a nice racer. Good luck with the sale. Great time of year to list it, too.

it appears you do AX, but the wheels & tires you see are/were the standard F1200 & Challenge Cup package until the other year. if you want an even better wheel & tire combo (both weight & grip), we all switched to the Yokohama A052 & alloy wheels (various sources like Empi, Mobelwagen, etc).

if you are set on that package you see, many of us have Diamond steel wheels that we have no use for now.

Interested in any trades? I have two vintage formula vees but I will be offloading soon.

Matt, does that mean the Challenge Cup and Driverz Cup are on the same wheel tire combo now?

Thanks.

Not interested in trades sorry

I autox at local events and which are pretty small sites. I'd like to find another options beside the normal solovee tire/wheel combo. Thank you for the suggestions I'll look into them.

The car was sold and picked up today.
As for the first question — I am afraid I don’t know.
