I have a 1975 3000M, with T-slot alloys. I use the car in the TVR sprint championship, and want to increase the wheel size to 15inch, as this will give me more choice on tyre selection. I am thinking of fitting Minilites, but would like to see some pictures of cars that have already had these fitted, before i take the plunge. If anybody out there has any pics it would be appreciated.

daza,
I will definately be interested in your wheels. Will the offset be correct for an M.

Cheers for the pictures. I like the reveloutions, but i really like the minilites. What offset do i need to run without having to make any modifications. I will only be running 195/65/15 Yokahamas.

Adrian Venn supplied my shocks and poly bushes. He also corner weighted it last year. I spoke to Adrian about the wheels last week, and he said i shouldnt have any problems running 15inch MLs with 195/65 tyres, but he couldnt remember the offset needed.

The car has a 3.9 rover v8 with hot cam, edelbrock manifold, racing flywheel and fully balanced, so the acceleration is pretty potent. I am changing to a salisbury diff due to the strain on the original triumph unit, and intend to get a different ratio to make the car a bit more long legged.

Thanks for all of your responces. I spoke to Adrian Venn, and he is in agreement that 15x6 compomotive MLs running 195/65/15s is a good track/road compromise. I sprint the car, but i drive to and from the events, so still need somthing that will let me retain my fillings on the way home. Appearence wise i think the MLs look cool. Cant decide on silver or something else yet.
