Labergorce Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Not sure if these are the original superlight wheels or not - I'm someone more informed than me can put me right. Consequently unsure of what they're worth really. In reasonably good condition as you can see from the pics some slight bubbling. Have old ZZR tyres which have done a fair few track day cycles - probably good for a no grip day! £500 or offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted February 12 Leadership Team Share Posted February 12 For info, they’re the earlier “plain rim” type SLR wheels, 6.5” front, 8.5” rear 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakman Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hi, Are these wheels 4 x 108 PCD? Do you know what ET/ backspace they are? Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labergorce Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Hi Dave, i'm afraid i have no idea. They fitted my S3 2001 K series caterham is that's any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted February 12 Leadership Team Share Posted February 12 They're standard dedion fitment and were manufactured for the S3 chassis Superlight Rs. If you've not had wider rears fitted previously you might need to grind or file a small amount off the dedion tube ends (easy to do) to make enough clearance to teh inside of teh wheel and you need to be careful where balance weights go. I have a few sets and they're great wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrightpayne Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Have you got the centre caps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labergorce Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 No centre caps i'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted February 13 Leadership Team Share Posted February 13 Page 3 of the February issue of Lowflying shows how different these wheels can look with a change of colour scheme. Personally I prefer the standard polished rims but there’s certainly a lot of scope for something different. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Jones Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I’ve not had a reply since my offer, can you update us all as to what is happening please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Whoever purchased these wheels there is a set of prisoner wheels on ebay with caps for £200 BIN. No picture of the caps however. I understand that the prisoner centre caps used the same tooling as those for the Superlight split rims albeit a slightly bigger diameter. If I were desperate to make up a set of Superlights as per original spec, £200 less what you’d get for the wheels capless seems eminently reasonable IMHO. Bit of due diligence that the caps for sale are in good order and they do in fact fit…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
