heres the choices

[mitchipoo06]

New headlights and the black wheels, it gives it a much more moody/understated/cool look. Love it!

[supra_lee]

im not sure about the black wheels

[Daston]

Doluck double six's?

[CypherP]

If those wheels in the 3rd picture were in carbon grey, they'd look great! The black wheels look ok, although i think the ones in the 3rd look so much better, just not chromed.

Agreed, wheels in the third pic, in silver, but not chrome

[rsstman]

not keen on the paint either, and yes the wheels are shockingly nasty. great spec though and would be interested to see it on some classic bbs lm`s or similar. i actually like the moody black wheels even though i usually hate black wheels.

Yeah, totally agree, flip paint is textbook Barryboys stuff...

Seems a kind of odd opinion to be held by members of a site which revolves around TVRs. Does that mean that the above Tuscan would qualify as a target for "Barryboy" motor?

As for the chromes, I kind of agree with the negative opinions on those. They look the part on big American SUVs (no, not a Range Rover Sport or X5) and big saloons, but seem a bit out of place on a "performance" car. I can't think of too many supercars off the top of my head which would be improved with the addition of chrome wheels...
I would favour something more simple, and JDM-type designed. What about something along the lines of gunmetal-coloured Volk 6-spoke wheels?

the tuscan came from the factory with that paint. you could paint it on any number of modern cars and it would look rubbish because it is just not meant to be, imagine it on an astra vxr, would it still be ok because its ok on a tuscan?

and the thing is you dont even see it on reasonably nice cars like an astra vxr (just used as an example but you could put any car in here evo,m3 st,gti,etc) it would more than likely be found on "show" corsas and saxos etc.

would be an absolutely awesome car in black or grey with some bbs lm`s or similar and with that engine spec.

Seconded, BBS LMs are one of the best looking wheels I've ever seen.
