The RL7 17” wheels are ET40.

The 18” version is very rare, they were known for cracking, but apparently it can be repaired.

Cracked alloys can be repaired by these people, I have used them in the past and very good at working with Ali.

Thanks for the link gruffalo will give them a ring .always thought alloy wheels were unrepairable due to the heat factor

they repaired a couple of wheels for my brother that were cracked, i dont think they refinish them though so will still need painting.
