These are Fox Racing RS3 wheels i believe?....which i have fitted on my Cerb and are now obsolete.I take it that they are not new as i tried to get some new ones for the front of mine a few years back and they are like hens teeth.What size and width are yours?

it might be an optical illusion but the offset looks completely wrong. Hope you didn't pay much for them!

Sorry bud think they would look better a darker colour, would go better with your body colour.i have tried some silver ones on mine and it looked crap.......and i mean crap.i have a thing about big poished lips on my rims but i dont think it suits this style of car.love the body colour.

Mine are 18" 7J front with 225/35 tyres and 9J back with 255/35 tyres,can`t remember the offset but they have been on the car 6 years without a problem.
I have recently thought about putting RL7`s back on mine but everyone i have talked to said im mad as these wheels make the car!

Can you get a shot from the top down? Do they stick out of the wheel arch at all?

My car is a lighter colour than yours & it looks crappy with sliver wheels, I am changing my spiders & fitting a set of RL7's that I am changing to anthracite. It will really suit your car having those wheels in anthracite wink

Did I spot those on the green cerb at RP last week. Didn't like them on the green one. In the pic they suit your car better. Maybe anthracite might improve them again. Spiders look far better IMHO.

Does the Cerb have a negative scrub radius?
