Brakes Wheels 1st Gen Tires Most liked posts in thread: Team Dynamics 1.2, opinions/thoughts

I suggest that you call Aaron at Outmotoring and get his opinion. He's owned several sets and has sold them since he started his company about 6 years ago. He would shoot you straight about any issues he's seen.

 

I had a set, and I loved them. Had to sell them because they didn't clear my brakes. It's a very nice looking rim.

As for Nathan's issues, those were 17's, and that was on the track--not your usual stress.

I still have the TD 1.1's (they do clear my brakes), and haven't had any issues with them. The Miata guys run TD's all the time on the track--I think (or hope) Nate's experience is the exception.

 

I also thought that Nathan's were the earlier version of these wheels (1.1?) and not the 1.2s?

I'm looking at getting these wheels as well, 16s in white.

 

I'll chime in here...

I bought my TD's used, who knows how many track days they had on them and how they were treated before I purchased them. Yes, I did have a catastrophic failure of one and I know of at least one more person tracking a MINI often that had a spoke crack but without the spectacular events I had.

Would I buy another set, yes, but for the street only where the wheel is not subjected to the same constant forces that one finds on the track.

That said when TD replaced my wheel they had to scour the country to find one of the same generation I had. This leads me to believe they have redesigned the wheel in some manner.

There are 1000's of these wheels running around every day without issue. When one mass produces an item there are always a few that fail. I think I was just lucky and found one of these failure prone wheels.

That kind of luck I can do without !

Have you considered the Konig Feathers?

 

Agreed - NOT for Track Duty!

My TD1s were bought new at the end of '07 and failed after 3 years of about one track weekend a month.
