The car looks great, but I wish someone would shift that orange thing so I could get a proper look.

The rims look like the ones on the Plymouth Prowler. Car looks fantastic.

I've seen that car in the flesh. I bought some 390SE wheels off Mike who owns it.
It didn't have the wheels on then but (being in the upholstery business) he was doing some nice things with the interior.

Looks like it is parked outside Joospeed, so I guess Joolz would know more about it.......

Everyone can take the p*ss out of Joolz now, cos the beige maestro is his.

(There - got my own back for you claiming you kept up with me in your cavalier )

the cerbera looks even better in the flesh than it does in the pics, and it looks bloody great in the pics anyway! the exhaust not only looks the dogs nads but sounds fab too, and those wheels blew me away when I first saw them.It's my fave cerbie after danny l-t's RR ... pic courtesy of me ...

Just enquired about those wheels and exhaust on the "lets see your cars' thread - exhaust looks great!

thanks a lot lads,just got back online hence the delay. anyway the exhausts were made to my own spec and the wheels were sourced by myself,they were a real pain to get fitting properly.Ive got some more pics courtesy of joolz, ill post them soon.

More info on wheels though please, as I spent some time [and failed] to find some alternatives. Apart from make/spec etc., have they stayed round, as the biggest deterrent to me putting on bigger wheels, apart from cost, is bending the rims.

O.K Wheels...8x18 all round,42mm offset, centre bore machined out to 78mm(could be 71mm depends on age of cerb but easy to check) 5x114.3mm pcd,255/35 on back,225/35 on front.However due to the style of my wheels they caught the front calipers so a 6mm spacer was used in conjunction with longer wheel studs(chrysler motorsport items NOT CHEAP!).Thankfully after all the trouble i had the wheels don't vibrate or catch and have not buckled even after a couple of hard knocks.
Exhaust made by Ascar in Sheffield out of stainless to my chosen design,cost around £500 for two back sections. Hope this helps .

Yep, very nice. But are these wheels chrysler motorsport items ? You did not say in your last message.

Are they any bigger/wider etc than the 18 inch spiders used on the latest cerbs?

Those wheels look very similar to those fitted to Jag XK8's
