Blimey - you know your wheels don't you wink. Might be worth posting a 'wanted' ad - you never know who might have some gathering dust in their garage.

OR, maybe you could ask Tim at ACT if he knows of anyone selling some as he is selling SP12's and people are often swapping out spiders when they buy SP12's.

Just a thought...... smile

Amazon!!!! I could have sold my ET33's to this poor unsuspecting sole! wink

Yes indeed, 'fronts' all round do the trick. Some Cerbs can apparantly cope with 'rears' on the rear but it seems to depend on a number of car specific factors (suspension, fibreglass layup inside the rear arches, etc...). Mine couldn't cope, hence the pair of lovely 'rears' that I now have for sale.

Regards,
Olly

Jcerb, have you looked in the parts/plates section of classifieds on here? There's usually some Spiders on there, which reminds me.......

Petrol sniffer! Cheers for that, looks like this maybe the way to go as refurbing wheels costs a lot. So this could be a more cost effective solution, many thanks

Surprised me too. I'm probably going for a set of the anthracite, as I need to replace a wheel (£150), and was going to get my current set overhauled (£300). May as well get a new set.

I presume that they do actually have stock though. Might not after this thread though laugh

Now, having read the posts here I have to admit that I have a really original set-up on mine.

Fronts on the front
Rears on the rear

All it takes is a little imagination wink
