Wanted, 17" wheels

[sidewards]

Nearly two weeks into Cerb custodianship, the cars on 18" spiders currently, and need a refurb. I thought about offering them for exchange, but as someone pointed out, they might be useful if I ever have to pass her on to someone else.
I'd like to give the 17" RL7's a shot. Does anyone have any going spare?
I did come across a set on ebay recently, but after a quick question about sizes the listing got pulled.

Thanks for the offer, but what exactly does 'out of true' mean? If it means they're not entirely round, then that probably won't work too well.

Hi all,

Bit of a bump, but three months and 6k miles in, and the rubbers wearing thin. So another shout out to find any dusty under used 17" RL7s..?

Hope everyone's getting some good running in, lovely weather for ducks and angry 4.5s

Thanks for the leads all, a fellow PHer has generously made available a set gathering dust, well slugs actually. Booked collection for a refurb on these, thinking of a Satin Black finish... What do you think?

However, I now seem to have run into another challenge, finding a matching set of tyres! This is proving more difficult than I recall. Does no-one have available a matching set of 235/40-17 and 255/40-17 ?

I keep finding posts where people have bought front and rear widths together quite happily for a few different tyres, and from different places. But none of them appear to have anything matching today.

If anyone has any up to the minute pointers, would be muchly appreciated.

I just bought a full set from them and I think they were the same sizes you are looking for.

Oh - and Im considering painting my RL17's a darker colour (as they also need a refurb) so please post pics (and prices if you don't mind) on what you get done. Cheers

Haha, you first, I'm still umming and ahhing between staying anthracite, going to classic silver, or giving this satin black a whirl. You never know until it's on the car.

I got Anthracite 18" Spiders, in need of a refurb
And just picked up a set of stock silver 17" RL7s, in need of a refurb, which I'm switching to
