Bola 18" replica spider wheels

[BuzzBillsberry]

I believe one of you Cerbera chaps have fitted a set of the above and there's a picky on the Cerb face book page...I sent a request to join the site about 4 days ago but had no response...any of one know of the car?

Cheers

I have seen a thread on FB re wheels on a Cerb. They are Enkei PF07.....a sort of Spider but with a hint of RL7.....nice.

The guy who has fitted the Bola Spiders is Vaughn Tooze,dont know his PH name.

Looks like a Bola B7 is identical to the original spiders....

I'm interested in seeing what the weight difference is. I haven't been able to find the Bola weight yet.

Are you saying Vaughn Tooze is his real name?

About 2kg.. 10.5kg for a Bola.

That sucker delivered my son as well .

Ummmmmm, is it me or can you NOT order the correct offset or PCD ?

(I know that I'm dumb)

You can..

Isn't the real shame that they are producing the 8.5" front which still results in a stretched tyre and less sidewall? An 8" front would be much better wouldn't it?

It would yes.. I don't think they are being made with the intention of being new TVR wheels though, so probably not a priority.

Would a 225 40 18 compensate?
or a 235 35 18?

I'm interested to see how these stand up to the roads in comparison with the Spiders. Looking at the comparison shots the Bola actually looks like its thinner where the spoke meets the rim which would worry me but I read that the biggest problem with the Spider was lack of hardening so hopefully this is a non-issue.

The bolas are much stronger than the chocolate spiders which are renouned for buckling. I've been waiting for the bola supplier to come back to me with the correct off sets for th Tamora 33/40mm etc which they haven't But they're a little off and as mentioned in a previous post with the bola configuration....as mentioned they aren't specifically a replacement just a stronger similar wheel to the poor quality spider...hey ho the search continues...... Thanks for all the input guys even though I have a Tamora my absolute all time favourite TVR is the Cerbera...its just not a convertible

These were the wheels I referred to in the other thread.

Are you going 8-inch wide at the front? If you're going 8.5 then a tweak to the offset would be needed no?

225/40/18 or 205/50/16 all round on my Tamora.
