RL7'S - info request
Morning all,
Happened across these 18" beauty's from a good friend.
Question is about the centre caps, was there an official logo type sold with them or non as club sport type wheel.
Any pictures would be appreciated.

Not sure about the caps but get them fitted on the car, one of the best wheels for a cossie in my opinion.

I like them, why follow the crowd and go with the same standard colours. Exactly why i went bronze on ultimate green. Get them fitted and post sum pics.

Yeah, the guy I got the wheels off had a set done by him for these but has kept them as they had his name on.
I was going to ask him to do a set with a Raceline logo on but looks like there isn't one.
Probably do a plain set.

I had some bits up for sale then a few months later the guy I sold the stuff sent me an email
moaning that I had more and I'd told him they were a one off etc....turned out someone was using all my pictures then the last image was of there actual item which was damaged and only worth binning.

It was me you bought them from, that's if they're the same one's that got damaged in transit when you bought them.

Have people been taking the front arch liners out? These are catching when turning on the inside of the tyre.

they would be unusual to be et 37 ,so were probably machined at some point
you could probably get away with a 3-5mm spacer which should clear your liners
