Got them. Didn't theink they were too bling in the end.



Gonna have to get handy with the grinder on the leading and trailing edges of the wheel arches though, catch a bit when turning. Easy job though and saved me a few thousand.

Nice wheels mate!

Get a dust mask for yourself before you grind the arches as it can get a bit dusty to say the least.

Love the wheels, I like that 'Y' effect and have been toying with the idea of getting some myself for ages. A piccie of the whole car from the side along with some wheel dimensions would go down a treat - if you get time.

They'll be a bugger to keep clean but look good while they are.

Similar. Only one peice and about 1/2 of the price. Do look a little 'cheap' if you ask me but they're good enough. Size makes up for quality if you ask me.

Won't handle too hot but I'll just have to be extra careful.

450 how thick are the arches? 10mm 5mm?

So ridds, how much? Where? What size/tyres?

Not my cup of tea - too much of a pain to keep clean

But I will say you have a real Marmite car there mate. There's no in between it's a love it or hate colour combo IMHO.

Can I just congratulate you on how bad you are at taking photos of your car .

For god sake man take a few steps backward next time.

Those wheels actually look quite good, might look even better if I could actually see both of them attached to the car at the same time.

Hey! They only arrived on Monday morning and I whizzed home at lunchtime and chucked 2 on to see what they look like!

Sizes are 265/30-19 and 235/35-29 9.5" Rears and 8.5 " fronts. Running 35mm offset fronts and 40 offset rears. Offset on the fronts is too high really but should be ok.

Price wise. Not much over £1k all in.

"Size makes up for quality" and "..wont handle too hot, but I'll just have to be careful" !!!

Oh my God - The Max Power Nova boys have started buying Cerberas !!

I've just spent a grand to make my Cerb handle better - and you've spent money to make it worse - but hey who cares, you've got BIG Wheels.

Yeah thanks for that one. I'll do what I like to my car thank you very much.

I actually have a set of wheels for track use as and when the car makes it that far. Currently I have an entire season of shows to go to with GT Culture and Castrol and hence the car needs to 'look' the part also.

I know full well that the car isn't going to handle great with those on but that is not the point. Wheels for show, wheels for go I have both, so what is your problem?

Hi Mate

They vary one side was around 10mm the other was nearly 25mm which was a real bitch as after a few mins you could hardly see!

Fun and games though! Just be careful if you do the top of the rears as the drivers side has the fuse box loom resting in it on some cars. Dont want to cut that.

Craig.
