theres a Chimaera in the classifieds which have more kinda SLR wheels? perhaps with the caps of they look even better? they don't look bad, but on a T car I think I like the Rota's better.
I'm not sure of those on a Chimaera, my personal preference is for a smoother less fussy shape - bit like the originals, but then I'm boring like that smile

Glad we are not all the same smile

I think they are Rota Torque's...

There's these....staggered fitment, dished rears.. Rota Drift





Need to work out whether the offsets are ok tho...

Or a bit pricier... OZ's...UltraLeggeria Racing..



But in case you'd like something different to look at... Here's Debbie Harry from a few years back...

those OZ look also good, also important is the weight of the wheels...
strong and light sounds good.

I have to say from an aesthetics pint of view, I really don't like the multiple holes in the centre - just the lug holes will do me fine!

They are indeed Rota Torques, offsets are fine, 9.5" on rear and 8.5" on the front. Lighter than the spiders and have stood up to serious potholes over the last few years without any damage. Had the Super Leggerias before and they were about the same weight and good and strong aswell.

I think they are rota force. I very nearly bought a set but they only went up to 9" rear and then jumped to 10.5 iirc so I got the torques with 9.5 rear for a bit more dish.

They do look good though and in the flesh they looked awesome.

The rounded dished look really suits the Tvr shape much more than some of the more angular designs IMO.

They do look quite good on a Tuscan.

BTW - Is anybody running a set of Jade-Rs with track oriented tyres?

I think the wheels at the top could be 'Calibre Volante' - don't suppose the owner of the car is on here to comment on what they are like?

[quote=MrChips]I do quite like those tsw's. However from the cars that I've seen with aftermarket wheels, those which have at least a small amount of dish, do seem to work a lot better.

Taken from the register here: not sure what these are but I like them!



The green sag is Tim's....the wheels are special order prodrive items from Japan IIRC...pricey but very nice! Hopefully Tim will be able to confirm in case I've got my wires crossed...
