Has anyone had any prolem with wheel bearings?
All these people (incl me 
) strap on big disks, big alloys (sometimes heavier), wide tyres and cetrelock adaptors (heaven forbid). Thankfully, my overall weight is only marginally more - but have alloy bells, alloy nuts and mag wheels.

My last S2 trackday car did a pair of front wheel bearings and hub flanges every 12 months, i put ot down to the strain of full slicks, AP 4 pots and all the heat and punishment they took during the year.
I used to do it over the winter period as a matter of course!
