I think that black would look great ,been thinking of trying these out myself now I'm in the same boat black or silver hehe
That Or Compomotive mo6 s ,or image splitties .
I think black or anthracite MO6s on your car would look even better than on mine, and I love mine!
Are those 16/17 combo look very nice i think your right would look good in black on mine worry that the standard brakes would look a bit puny though , more expense for a front brake upgrade , its never ending hehe

Yep, 7x16 ET32 and 8x17 ET35.

The front discs do look a bit puny but they work and I wasn't going to spend on an up-grade just for the looks! And I got used to the appearance.

Mr Poxon you are quite incorrect. wink

Rosie's wheels are Lenso BSXs, 16" on the front and 17" on the rear.
I stand corrected!

Hope you are well sir, long time see, or should I say long time no hear! wink

What is the difference between the calibre vintage and Lensos?

Thanks for that they look great brakes dont look lost at all i think as long as you go 16 f / 17 r the brakes look fine .

Dark centres with polished rims can look good in my opinion. Here is a picture of my old chim with Image three-piece wheels.

Do you still have those wheels Peter?
No, sold to ChimV8 over year ago.
And very nice they are

It is worth joining Faceache just for the TVR stuff.

If you want to look at just the TVR stuff without getting involved in any of the Facebook crap then just create an account but don't populate the profile or accept any friend requests but join the TVR groups and speak to people in there.

I have a full profile on FB but I vary rarely use it, I mainly go straight into the TVR groups and see what it going on in there.

All arrived fitted now, quite pleased with how they're looking - not as lost in the arches as the previous wheels.

Hi,
Those wheels look lovely and I have just ordered some silver ones for my Chimaera (is that a swear word?).
I assume you have 16" front and 17" rear and if so please can enquire what tyre sizes you chose?
Thank you, Chris.

Have been wondering if this lattice style would not be a real swine to clean although they do seem popular as have seen a few Chimareas offered for sale witht hem fitted as well as a couple of Griffiths.

This got me wondering what the old 5 spoke with spoinner style as found on a lot of Cobras and of course on the GT40 would look like on a TVR?

Cor blimey,
Stunning.
That's possibly the best looking Tvr I've ever seen.

I like Tvr in solid colours, can't see if this is a solid colour but I'm liking it lots.
Some Chims have the flailed in headlights they don't look like that though do they.
Proper car. Those wheels seem a great match. It's all very tasteful.

The only thing that surprises me here is that your car has ever been cleaned;)
