Guest Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hi Guys, I'm looking for a spare set of wheels, ideally 13" MB Mags or Caterham 8 spokes and/or other light weight ones. 6" & 8"+ for an R500D - used on track days. Thanks Jason Edited by - Catey on 21 Sep 2013 19:29:32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keybaud Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Damn, I thought you were selling. Not that it matters much, but you might want to post in the Wanted instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James.S Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 for circuit use stick with the CC 8 spokes. Wouldn't trust MB's on the pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative bluenose Posted September 21, 2013 Area Representative Share Posted September 21, 2013 It is only the early MB wheels that are a problem. Many cars race with MB wheels in historic formulas so go ahead and keep looking. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thanks for the tip Keybaud, I've put the wanted there as you suggested. Still looking for some. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I have spent the afternoon sat on the 'naughty step' and have learned the error of my ways. Just out of interest does anyone have an idea of what a new MB set would cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Thanks cskip, what about the centres - I assume the dear bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative bluenose Posted September 28, 2013 Area Representative Share Posted September 28, 2013 According to the website they are £135 each so R500 set would be about £950 for 6.5" fronts and 8.5" rears. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Plus VAT that is if I remember correctly. They usually sell at around 600 second hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I'm told by a kind and knowledgeable guru 😶🌫️ (thank you Richard) the webs are slightly thicker and therefore stronger on the later ones - they feel slightly tapered from the back to the front.

As you didn't quote, I assumed your post was a belated reply to the original post. Apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
