There seem to be lots of Cerbera wheels on ebay going cheap. Do they go on Chims? What do they look like?
I mean the 17 ones.

Cerbs have 5 studs, Chims are 4 so they will not fit onto a std Chim. The only way to make them fit is to change the hubs to 5 stud format. I beleive that TVR used to make a kit (not sure if they still do) to do this.

Cerbs use a single offset front & rear, they actually use 4 front wheels (from later cars & earlier cars with spider conversions). Cerb rears will narrow the rear track if fitted!!! - but it seems commonplace to prefer aesthetics to geometry in these circles.....

A pair of 7mm spacers would solve that.

You will need longer studs inserting in the hub. This also completely changes the forces in the hub, since the studs only clamp the wheel at the mating face between wheelnut/wheel not hub/wheel - not a solution I would want on a performance car. IMHO of course.
