Anyone tried SP Wheels on a Cerbera?
Discussion
Has anyone fitted the SP12 wheels (from Silverstone Performance) to their Cerbera.
I was planning to sell my car but am having second thoughts. Instead, I am tempted to put some of these wheels on my 4.5. It still has the original wheels and I have never really liked the later TVR Spiders.
I'd be particularly interested if anyone has pictures of a Cerb with SP12's in a special finish (black or anthracite).

Thanks everyone. I did try the link to SP from Pistonheads but it seems to be broken (maybe it's just me).
Any thoughts on the impact on selling the car further down the line? Personally, I like the dark wheels but are they likely to put off a future buyer (compared to silver finish) if I sell the car later?

I am not sure the SP12 suit the car IMHO?
As for black wheels - I think the SP12 look good in that colour. But black wheels look best on black cars and yellow cars IMHO.
I think your Sage colour is a very cool colour that makes the car look slick etc , I think it needs silver wheels. I think it will look best with 17" RL7 or spiders.

I've been trying to access the website www.silverstoneperformance.co.uk for a week with no joy. Emails bounce too... is everything OK there (Phil?)?
Silverstone are well alive and kicking, Just got mine back after the slave went all wrong.
It was time for a service so decided to have a set of the SP wheels fitted whie I was at it.
Mine are black, well with a hint of silver (only when you look close. Finished off with a pearl tint.
Before I go off on one, the service was excelent car feels top notch, havn't realy had a chance to have a long blast, but the initial feeling is lighter. No not my wallet the wheels.
Mat even glued back the headlining also fitting the central heating bit, that hasn't been right since I got the car.
I think he may have had the wheel nuts painted aswell. When I got there the valeter(sp) had just done my car, this was not charged as an extra.
Oh yeah the wheels they look fantastic, I was shocked at how they had transformed the whole look of the car.
Adding that extra meanness only black wheels can.
Nick.
I havn't got any pictures yet but will get it sorted.

Have you seen these from tvr power www.tvrpower.co.uk/store_alloys.php I like the 1st set(5 spoke), as per Doms Sag. I think they would look good on a Cerb.

25% lighter than spiders and they improve handling. IMO they look fine, too. Can't see why that would put off potential purchasers. Apart from
's. Resale wasn't foremost in my my mind when I got mine, though. Can't really see why I would ever want to change cars. gazzab said:

The TVR Power wheels look nice but looks like they're about 50% pricier? The SP wheels look like good value.
The thing that got me thinking of dark wheels with the California Sage of my car was seeing the latest Le Man Astons in metallic green with black wheels - really liked it. The California Sage is also an Aston colour and although it's lighter I figured it could look good.

It'd be worth talking to Tim at ACT too.
Blimey didn't realise Tim was branching out into wheels as well, they're not up on his web site yet any idea what wheels he's doing

He does these now:
Rather like the RL7, but apparently much lighter and available in 17s and 18s. I haven't see a set on a car yet, but I think they would look suitably OEM. I'm not a fan of too much bling on the wheel front myself, so these are spot on for me.
