Mark do your CE28Ns have the offset stamped inside the wheels?

Just a small comment here from my side. I was surprised that offsets and wheel sizes are not marked on those wheels which I've got on my S2000. They use stickers instead. I took some photos the other day, just to have them handy in case they were removed for some reason.

So if the wheels have been refurbed and there is no sticker present you're stuffed in terms of ascertaining the offset?

You could try to measure it.

Put my pads back on this weekend, leaving plenty of bedding in time before Cadwell.

Remember to follow Dixon's bedding in instructions...

Are they like most? On the Exige Pagids I was told to drive up and down the paddock trail braking for a ferw mins, then do a lap with some medium braking, come in, cool down, then go out and give them absolute hell Certainly stopped them squealing.

Just to 10 stops from 100 to 0 (units to be determined by the driver) to give the discs a good coating of the pad material. Then cool down.

The M25 J17 link road is excellent for this.
