Does anybody have a set of 18” Raceline RL7s they would like to sell? I tried posting this in the Cerbera forum a while back put have had no success so thought it was worth a post here. I have also tried placing a wanted add but only seem to get emails from people trying to scam me. Please contact me if you have some.

18" are like finding the holy-grail,a buddy of mine found a set but they required a lot of repairing and welding,then he had to get them powder-coated.They ended up costing him more than a set of aftermarket wheels.You will have better luck with 17" but they are difficult to obtain a decent set...good luck......

I've been windowshopping for a couple of weeks. Theres two sets on passionford at the moment, one refurbed and one tatty with 5 wheels, and one new unused set on ebay. I think theyre all 17's, but they are the only 3 sets I've seen for sale.

And I've just realised you want them for a cerb, so 4x108 wont be of much use paperbag

I’ve been looking for over a year ( http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... ) I regularly check the classifieds on here and on the TVRCC website and ebay but they never seem to come up for sale. RL7s off a Ford would be no use to me as they’re 4 stud and wouldn’t fit a Cerbera, they may fit a Griff or Chim. I’d noticed quite a few Mitsubishi Lancers have 18” RL7s and they are the same PCD as a Cerbera (5 x 114.3) but not sure if the offset would be correct, they also seem to be equally difficult to find. I know 17”s makes more sense, they come up for sale more often and they’d improve the ride quality but they just don’t look as good as 18s.

Compomotive MO6 look very similar to the RL7 and come in 18". There's a set on my Griff on my profile.

For 5x114 you would be better off stalking the driftworks forum for the jap drifters or all of the Stanceworks type ones as that is a volkswagen/audi fitment and they love their wheels. You'll be extremely lucky to find the offset that you want, let alone a set of 18's, so either machining them down or a set of proper hubcentric spacers will be the way forward. Any wheel can be made to fit any car, it just depends how much you want it biggrin
