Different Wheels

[psendles]

i want to change my wheels , what do you think of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-TVR-CHIMERA-GRIFFIN-DIAMO...

something abit different

[fatjon]

I like them as wheels but not for a Cerbera. I think they are too "angular" and not in keeping with the curves of the car. I don't think they would ruin it but wouldn't be my choice.

These I like, but it's in the eye of the beholder and I have rarely been accused of good taste.

[psendles]

see what you mean

[Gazzab]

Are you after blinging the car up or improving handling etc?
If its the latter then the SP12's are considered the upgrade of choice.
If you are looking at looks only then I am yet to see a non 'OE' wheel that works well with Cerbs. IMHO the Saturns, RL7's and Spiders suit the car. Other wheel choices will be down to personal 'taste' albeit rarely do alternative wheel choices meet with much approval round here.

i hear what you are saying
i like the look of spiders, but was interested on other opinions
i want to have 18 in wheels with low profile tyres

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder `n` all that but, personally for me, on looks alone, this cannot be beaten :

Personally I think the RL17's suit the car best. Also 17" is a good size, the car handles well on 17", the size suits it, the tyre size that goes with a 17" gives the optimum balance of handling and comfort, side wall compliancy, no rubbing on the arches, no need to fit spacers to prevent the tyres rubbing on the wishbones (and which reduce the turning circle!)

If you want to change, it's all down to personal taste isn't it

Spiders look good
SP12's look good.
There was white Cerbera with some tasty wheels on it, matt black with a polished rim.
Brummies look good.

I really like the Work's wheels that ACT sells and would be my choice if I was to replace the Spiders and they are very high quality. Only thing is they are also very expensive.

Still really like mine, super hard looking...

[fatjon]

Black spiders, work well with Yellow I reckon, but then I'm biased.

Great pic John, you should take up photography.

fatjon your yellow car with them rims looks the dogs dangels

[fatjon]

Yes, it was lust at first sight when I saw the ad for it. Was down in Enfield to with a large wad of 20s in hand the next day. Spent a few more wads of 20's on it since though. I do like Spiders, they really suit the cars shape somehow.

Agreed, fantastic contrast

18" Racelines on mine, I think it looks fab.

I like Spiders, but very much put off by how weak they are, and the number of topics by owners looking for odd wheels to replace their own bent ones. Spiders and UK roads don't mix well!

For something a bit different, I actually quite like the designs of the Audi A5 wheels.

Have had spiders for years and many thousand miles and never had to replace a wheel (whereas some of the rl's have been hair raising).

I like mine. See my profile. They are from ASA. Take a look at ROTA wheels also. Model SVN. Not all have the right width and offset.
