Am i right in thinking that this style of wheel comes in two or three different sizes (diameters). if so what size where fitted to cerbera's in the factory. Is one size more prone to cracking than other?

Thanks in advanced

17" RL was the original standard wheel for the 4.5 Cerb (with the 4.2's and S6 cars running 16" OZ Saturns). They also did a limited run of them in 18" size but it was these that were reckoned to be brittle (or the fragility was perhaps shown up by the lower profile tyres that they run) so not that many about. There was a 16" RL that appeared on early Tuscans but never used officially on the Cerb.

The 17s do crack but not as often as 18s.

The 17's are rumoured to be stronger, i have 18's on the back with some slicks for track daze, and have some 17's for the front also slicked up but i have not used those yet. I think the 17's on the front could be a better option thanks to a taller side wall, you can also run a 235 on those as opposed to 225 on 18's.
