[TR] ARE Silverstone Replicas

[david brady]

Hi David,

All good questions. The only objective answers are weight and more of an 
authentic vintage look with the GC360 Silverstone replicas. These will 
be going on my 1968 TR250. The Panasports weigh 18 lbs and the GC360 
Silverstone IIs weigh 15 lbs. The Panasports are more of a Minilite look 
while the GC360's are close to exact replicas of the original American 
Racing Mags available at the time. The only difference I can see is that 
they're aluminum and not magnesium and they're 6" wide versus 5" for the 
ARE. Still undecided but the authenticity of the look is important to 
me. Thanks for your input.
