Right I know a lot of you don't like the wheels on my cerb and I'll be honest probably not one of my best decisions, but it was early in the project and I had just sold the elise so the money was burning a hole in my pocket. Well it's now down to you if you would, help me find possible replacements, I'd like a motorsport style as the car is similar to the rollcentre gtc cerb.

Wheels at present:



I like the following:

I like what you've chosen. A modern interpretation on the spider. Possibly a little oversized.

How about something like the Speed 12 wheel? The purple one not the Cerbera S12.

Compomotive MO 6 would give you the "race car" look. Good wheel but heavy.

Dont listen to the haters .problem is youve got a good looking road car if you go for the track style wheels then you risk watering the style stick with the style youve got but maybe smaller

Rota's are strong..
The rears here are 10" but these could be your fronts and they do a 12" for the rear, thats my plan anyway.

I think a wheel combination that allows a deep concave on the rear would look great, a bit like on the Murcialago. The car looks great as it is, but I agree that the right set of wheels would make it even better!

No idea how it drives but I reckon it looks absolutely epic! The whole package is just stunning and makes the Cerb look so aggressive!

FWIW - I like your current rims. I think they suit your car.

I think it looks amazing...

But I reckon get someone to do a photoshop of the current wheels sprayed darker to match the splitter. Would make it look even meaner smile

The bit I dont like is if you compare to rollcentre is that the front arches are fat at the top and thiner at the bottom but without a progressive change.... Need to see it in real life...

I can't make my mind up whether I like them or not however the way that the end of the front splitter has been flared in to the bottom of the arch extension is very neat. Just looks a little empty behind the front wheel arch and the door - a wheel arch vent(s) perhaps?

If running the arches, it allows for some deep dish wheels I think; these day's people are calling it a "concave fitment" like the rear wheels on lambo murcielago's:
