Cerbera Wheels
Discussion
I dont have the car in my posession at the mo, so can't get exact details off the rims, but I have a set of 16x7.5's on mine at the mo that I obtained from 'RogTallBloke'. They had a slightly different PCD originally apparently but were machined to fit. If you need further details I can drop you a line when I get the car back, but it prob won't be for a couple of weeks yet.

Hi Campbell, you don't fancy parting with a set do you?
Yes I do, PM me and ill put you intouch with my Dad as he got he wheels at his place and both can sort out the details.
We have a few sets of wheels and all have got tyres on them but have seen better days and will need replacing apart from on set with good tyres.
They fit straight onto a toyota picnic as my sister ran a set on her car for over a year and looked very good.
Look forward to hearing from you Wyn, your new wedge look realy nice and were glad to see you back from a Griff, another nice car too.
Hi You need "wobble nuts" (off set nuts) or the wheels machined. The hole in the centre is slightly too large but you can get collars to fit them as well (not sure what they are called). They do fit without mods but it puts strain on the wheel bolts as they carry all the weight and power.

Hmm, I didn't know that. How much of a problem is this likely to be? It looks like I could well be using these wheels long term instead of the temporary arrangement I originally had in mind. Is it quite important that I get some of these collars? (or whatever they're called)red tasman said:

They're called spigot rings. I thought, or rather was told (possibly incorrectly) that it was the frictional clamping force of the wheel face to the hub face that took the torsional force rather the bolts themselves und the centre bore served to centre the wheels. That could be all b

Yes, that's the way that wheels are held on. It is of course the tension in the bolts that provides the frictional clamping force.ks though _Absinthe_ said:

Anyone have the dimensions (I suppose inner and outer diameter, length)?
I think the wheels are reasonably centered if the quality of the machining is good and you also take care to evenly tighten the nuts before dropping it back onto the ground, I've not had much problem with vibrations so far.
Once the fronts have ground a 2" groove in the inner wheelarch then you're sorted! It doesn't get any bigger.

or shall I wait for something that will go straight on without any mods. Sounds a bit over complex.adam quantrill said:

I'll check mine for you when the snow goes. 3" od with a 1/4" wall thickness rings a bell cut about 7mm long. Made mine from a plastic pipe connector I found to prevent any corrosion issues. Cost me about £10, I asked a few machine shops and they wanted about £70!Gassing Station | Wedges | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
