Rays G07WT in a 17x8 front and 17x9 rear, ET45 so using a 3mm spacer and longer wheel studs.

Well.. This was popular..

I've been looking at these for a while to replace the spiders. I've gone through 10 of the spiders in the past and getting sick of their chocolate state,



Think they would look great in 19.. I would also go a wider wheel at the back.

Very nice. They look pricey!

I quite like both of those.. That and mesh wheels (like BBS LM's) seem to suit the Cerb.

I like the Advan wheels, after learning my current wheels are less then circular I've taken a great interest in such things of late. The main issue I had with the Advan's is the finding the right size and somewhere in this country that sells it.

I'm personally pondering either



or something along the lines of

You can get Advans in the right sizes to do the job - 17x8 and 17x9 or 18x8 and 18x9 in ET45. You then need longer wheel studs and a 3mm spacer. I got mine from TDC automotive and with the help of a good friend and quite a few hours of his time we swapped the studs over. The fronts are easy enough to do, but you need to take the hubs off to do the rears as there is not even the clearance to get the standard studs out in situ. The weight of the Advans is v impressive, but then so is the price! www.japshop.co.uk ?

I did email the japshop.co.uk a few weeks back and received not a single response. Which is a pity, as i said previously I've narrowed it down to three options for myself, either custom made from squared or image or importing direct from japan some (Ray's Volk Racing) TE37's (i'd love a set of ce28n but apparently they are no longer made). All three options are the same price more or less.

My question is will i notice any performance difference in spirited driving? The Ray's are about 7.8kg a wheel, the custom made wheels from image are quoted at around 10.5kg, and the squared wheels are around 10-12kg.

You will 100% notice the lighter wheel weight. Better ride/handling and (maybe won't feel it so much) perkier acceleration.

Can I ask what wheels these are? My wife just saw this over my shoulder and likes them (which is rare)

[Mr Cerbera]

Now, wheel threads usually leave me cold but this one inspired me to have a look and I think the BBS es look cool in full Bling mode....

Thank you kindly sir!

[jaydom]

And what about Jade R from team dynamics ?
As i'm in France, it's quite difficult other there to explain distributors the cerbera specifics...
Mine is a 4.5 from 2001 with chocolate spider all round.
And Jade R seems to be used on the latest Sagaris.
Does anyone other there put some on his cerbie ?
What are the technical specifications in this case in 18 ?
Many thanks

Anyone know what spiders weigh? They feel v heavy.
