Not yet - but I've got a set on order........ probably doesn't help you much though

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Yep - and more importantly (to me, anyway) is that they get good reviews from what I've read about them.
Not seen any reviews on an Elan, but a few on MX5's, BMW roadsters and the like - and they all seem to be a tad better than the 'old' AD08's.
It will be a while until I get to try them - they're going onto my spare wheels, once they're powder coated, and wont be fitted until after the respray.
I ordered them from Demon Tweeks as they are only £8 a set more than the cheapest ones I could find, but they include a new set of bolt-in valves (not normally needed, but as I'm having the wheels coated, I thought it would be better to remove the old valves and replace them with new ones.)
I have 'old' Yokohama 008R's on at the moment, and love them - hopefully these will be even better.

Im getting my s2 wheels refurbed soon and have chosen these over the r1rs based on reading a lot of reviews from numerous websites/forums.
If I didn't use the car much then 888s would be my choice but they just aren't practical.
Sorry not much use either but Id be pleased to hear what you think if/when you get them fitted.
