Alloy Wheels

[Jackal83]

I'm starting to look at 18" wheels for my cerb..
Anyone got any pictures of Marron cerbs with alloys on!!

I like the look of deep sish 18" rims with a shinny rim and either black spokes or dull grey spokes.

Also where has the best choise of alloys for tvrs
Whats the offset needed???

This made me laugh

Not sounding too rude, but those wheels are terrible and the steering lock is bad enough on a Cerb, let alone fitting those nasty things!

Sorry but get some spiders.

Custom yo!

Staggered offsets, nice dish, sensible size - whatever, they'll make it to your spec.

Spiders will buckle the first pothole they hit, even though they do look good. SP12s is what I have on mine after the spiders and at least two other types of wheel. Good so far and becoming a common choice.

Isn't there also SP17's available? Personally I prefer the 17" wheels with 40 profile tyres.

[Jackal83]

Looked at that link and i have to say i prefer picture 2
If i could id get some 17" or 18" inch wheels that are the same as standered but bigger with lower profile tyres i would... The standered 5 spokes really match the cars lines... Simple but very affective!

[Gazzab]

Why dont you go for some black SP12s?

[touching cloth]

Black SP12's on green car - more dish on rear wheels than the fronts but can't really see that in this pic. Depends how dramatic a dish you want.

[SL500]

I do like the sp12 style. Who makes them and supplies them. I think that gun metal grey would look pretty on my blue Cerb

[Jackal83]

I do like these wheels.... Somebody uploaded into another thread!


maybe abit to complex tho.

[Gazzab]

Hate that last set.

SP12s are supplied by Silverstone Perf (cant remember their name).
The wheel is made by a chap I have holidayed with, Rimstock. I prefer the Silverstone version as it has no writing on it, think they have it removed.

..ormance (or were you being ironic??!!)

The SP12s are available in 17" or 18". The 17" is really intended for track use since it accomodates a 235/40 tyre in track rubber but they're equally at home in road use. Clearly the main criteria for most when choosing wheels is 18" diameter which is the most popular choice.

There is a new anthracite finish being released within the next two weeks (darker shade with a more pronounced metallic flake - pics to follow) - this could be an alternative to black. Black can be gloss or satin (which is close to matt black). Diamond cut rim is possible at extra cost on anthracite and gloss black.

Look forward to seeing the pics of the anthracites.

my car has had sp12's in anthracite for about a year and a half
would post a pic but my photo bucket account is shagged.
