182 anthracite/silver wheel spec

[Cory]

I'm after a spare wheel for my 182, are the standard anthracite and silver 182 wheels the same spec apart from the colour. I have a feeling they are but didn't want to buy one and find out it didn't fit. I'm having a problem finding an anthracite one only silver.

Any views on this guys?

I'm pretty sure they are exactly the same tbh, only painted anthracite.

From memory the cup pack only changed the colour of the wheel and the tyre fitted (maybe not) but essentially they are the same wheel whether it be silver or anthracite.

Hope that helps.

Same wheels mate I think just the colour thats different . Not sure if cup pack cars had different offset thou .

Take it you're referring to the standard eight spoke wheels (with the wide chunky spokes, like mine).

I had to do the same research when buying a spare for mine - they are definitely the same wheels, just different colours. They may have different part numbers on them but that's only due to the colour difference.

For extra piece of mind, if you take a wheel off, the offset can be found on the inside as ETwhatever (can't remember off the top of my head, could be 45 but not sure). But you don't need to check - they are the same.
