That's not difficult to get around. You just need to tweak the look slightly.

Thanks for the lead Alex. I have today made contactvwith Team Dynamics and spoke tona chap in there design department who confirms that the forged 6 spoke alloys on the candy red press car are indeed one of there alloys.
He also found the drawings and confirmed that they are 19 NOT 18.

I am waiting for one of there top boys to contact me to see if they are willing to run a low production run, the chap said that there is a good chance they would. So can anyone on PH who has a set of these alloys confirm their size, offsets etc,etc.

I personally believe that these are simply by far the very best looking alloy for a Sag. 2nd best are the spiders. I will post more info once they make contact with any news, if indeed they do call back.

Have you seen the wheels for sale in the classifieds from straight six? 19" jade R not 18"s - just in case you missed them.

On the subject of wheels and colours...anyone know where you can get coloured wheel nuts or maybe covers? I've anthracite SP12's and would like grey or black wheel nuts.

Just read through this thread and I notice it has been as said the original offsets were wrong on the Tuscan. I have just had my suspension sorted and was thinking of changing the spiders. Does this mean the specs on Mytuscan are incorrect and if so, what are the correct specifications?

thanks, for my car where I went from 19" to a 18" set-up, the wheels were about 2.5kg a wheel lighter,

so total I saved a bit more than 10kg there (those XXR 527 were also a bit wider) + some weight with the tires, total weight save 12.5kg compared to the original Hartge wheels.

I was amazed by that result and happy, that was a plus.





I have 8.75 front and 9.75 rear now, I guess something like that could also be possible with such TVR?

I think, like supermodels, you could dress these cars in virtually anything and they'd still look stunning.

9 rear, 8 front. Will need to find the paperwork for offsets but they are correct ones as per (or not far off) SP12.

I'm looking out for some new 18" wheels for my Red Bull Blue Tamora, I like the look of these, does anyone know the ideal wheel widths and offsets I need? Thanks.

Thanks, I saw the post but thought that might apply to Sagaris rather than Tamora. I really like the look of the wheels on Lasersag's car, so if they will fit my Tamora my search may be over... I'm surprised we haven't met somewhere, we've got similar taste in cars and are both based in Hampshire.
