On a Blackberry all looks fine to me, lovely car, if you say it's better than the Cerb, that's the time to light the blue touch paper and retreat ;-)

Zippie - Now 16's all round. I've been advising people to try it for a while, no takers, so we decided to see how it effects things ourselves.

Freddie - two minute wheel change, its jacked on the bolts (heavily cusioned/spreading the lifting) of the outrigger where the seats mount - the points we would normally jack onto were getting a quick wipe down at the same time. We rarely actually jack it, as we have a car lift elsewhere, so little harm done.
This is how we usually lift the car up;
with several rubber pads to spread the load in the right positions.

Pursy - The T350 is a better car than the Cerbera IMHO. It's also not as exciting immediately and there is nothing else like the soundtrack/aggression of an AJP short of a LeMans prototype. In an ideal world, we'd have both. I'll retreat now...

As for how they effect the car, well, that's a complicated one. I'll explain more when we've had more seat time and have got another set or two. wink Also, a huge thanks to Allanb who sold us these wheels, really appreciate it. thumbup

Edit; I am not entirely certain how it would effect cars without the level of adjustment we enjoy on our car, it may not work on others, but the initial signs are promising on ours.

I believe the t350 was originally designed to run on 16" wheels and will probably handle better. I'm sure there will be less tramlining for a start.

Yep a 4.5 Cerb and a T car of some description would be nice smile

I'm sure the 16" wheels will handle the best, but as i've said before, for those of us just poncing around, the silver 18's do the trick

Also, well spotted Zippee

Deffo...

This is what it looks like on RL7's but the offsets aren't suitable, the rear sits deep in the wheel well at the back (we only found out after we got them shotblasted/ re-powder coated, doh!)



But I completely agree that the best looking wheels of all, are the original 18" Spiders;
