I can't seem to find any mention of this - & I know several on here have purchased their wheels - but I wondered if Group 4 Wheels offer DDK members a discount ?

. I don't think you need to worry about exceeding the safe rev limit with the relatively mild modifications you're planning. A std 2.2S has a redline at 7300rpm but peak power is developed well below 7k - around 6500rpm from memory - so, other than shifting into the wrong gear (eg 3rd instead of 5th...
