Lugged one of my RL7's about at the weekend.. Boy it was fatter than I thought it would be! 20.5kg on the scale - Front

Am I correct in thinking they are 114.3x5 pcd, 17"x8" et35? Can you go a little wider/lower offset on a Cerb? 8.5" et30 say?

What (lightweight) wheels are you guys running?

My 19" Vogue wheels appear to be the lightest set I have. It seems to handle best on them too.

I have 4 sets currently
18" RLs on Vredesteins
19" Trafficstars on Uniroyals
19" Vogues on Uniroyals
18" Compomotive MOs on Bridgestones

I might get round to weighing them all one day.

You know my thoughts on this already... lighter = waaaay better. FWIW we run 16" spiders on the T350 and they've saved over 10kilos in unsprung weight, drastically changed the cars on road manners and made the car more progressive on track. Despite running tiny Tamora tyres still (225 wide all round) it is no slower/less grippy, quite the reverse infact.

It's a common Japanese fitment though, take your pick of the usual Rota etc etc and then have a word with Al about a decent deal through Driftworks?? smile

If you decide to go for 18" I went for the following which cause no issues on my car with rubbing etc.
Rear 9j  et 38
Front 8j et 35

Hope that is of some use.
