Anyone used these...?

Just had the 'new' front wheels refurbed (the rears are going in to be done next week) and the centre badges look rather knackered ... those are the only ones that I can find offhand and they look OK but they also appear to be a different design to the ones I have there currently. Those look like they've got a resin 'bubble' over them whereas the current ones are just flat.

Has anyone used these ones and do they look OK when they're actually on the wheels?

Yes & Yes.

They design does differ from the originals slightly and is indeed resin coated, so will hopefully last a good length of time.


These are also readily available on ebay in various sizes/colours, so worth checking before you order.

I did have a quick look on eBay under "TVR wheel centre" and only got a couple of returns but I'll have a look again from work...

The ebay ones are fine.

Searching TVR Wheel Centre returns a good selection. I have these:

I've used these from this supplier as well - recommended.

Ordered ... thanks.

Odd that I only got a couple of search returns last night but hey...

You need to make sure that the centre disk is very clean and that you press the centres on and rub well down ... or they might fall off.

Warming everything up with a hairdryer is supposed to help them stick better.

A couple of hours on the AGA usually gets things sticky...
