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.

Ircossie Jan 5, 2023 05:38 PM

On fleabay.

I had seen them. Might just buy them for the caps not to bothered about the stickers.

Ircossie Jan 5, 2023 06:35 PM

I think the compomotive caps may fit.

Ircossie Jan 5, 2023 07:13 PM

Keeping the wheel colour as is.??

qed296 Jan 5, 2023 07:16 PM

For now, there in fine fettle.

Ircossie Jan 5, 2023 07:26 PM

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.

jason_nike Jan 7, 2023 05:52 PM

They look great, I do like these wheels

qed296 Jan 7, 2023 05:55 PM

They are a nice wheel...as with these RL wheels no stamps on them with et but they sit perfect.

james kiely Jan 7, 2023 07:38 PM

they sit perfect mate :clap:

Ircossie Jan 8, 2023 03:17 PM

They sit lovely in the arches, still waiting for a full pic though.

dan le moignan Jan 8, 2023 07:27 PM

Dave Lee/ XYZ fabrications does center caps for these I think

qed296 Jan 8, 2023 07:31 PM

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.

stevieturbo Jan 18, 2023 06:12 PM

just measure and buy whatever cap you like that fits

qed296 Jan 19, 2023 05:04 PM

Plastic caps off ebay, £4 for four so these will be colour matched.....new stickers made up in black.

qed296 Jan 24, 2023 06:25 PM

Wheels all on, camera make the car look weird??

See what it looks like when its settled.

Ircossie Jan 25, 2023 07:08 AM

Loving that, get the stickers on and get it out in the daylight.

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

Ircossie Jan 28, 2023 05:33 PM

Looks awesome 👌

BIG LEE Jan 28, 2023 06:30 PM

There shouldnt be catchn if offset is correct.. mine has 8.5j x 18s on and there dont rub mints dropped around 25/30mm

jason_nike Jan 28, 2023 06:34 PM

Mine still has arch liners, no scrubbing at all

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/passion...8350687d0e.jpg

james kiely Jan 28, 2023 08:34 PM

i think 4wd has more room over 2wd safs

qed296 Jan 29, 2023 08:17 AM

Interesting, chap i got them off had them on 4x4 also with liners in and no issues.....wonder if I'm missiing some clips and the liners loose then?


Worked out the offset and they are et37

BIG LEE Jan 29, 2023 09:12 AM

mines 2wd and dont rub maybe worth checkn the clips etc make sure there fitted in flush etc

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:DD:
