Gav Kershaw ditched the Speedlines in 2004 in the British GT Series, & both SeanB & RussT have experienced rear wheel failures (even with Motorsport hubs/large bearings) this season in the Mid Engined Sportscar Series.

Rubbish...........I went through wheel bearings with the Rimstocks as well as the Speedlines!!! I just replace them every season before I run the car!!! That has not been an issue with any of the SII's. You can't even mention the GT3 cars in the same breath as a production car as they don't share much. I think Gavin's driving abilty is a bit higher than most drivers here and he might push the GT3 a bit harder. Given he is also driving a car with 320HP!!!! It's just not the same........... Here's a shot of Gavin with the GT3 car he raced this Summer...........
