Just had fitted some new 19" kahn alloys, thought you'd like to see them (the livery is on the car as i am doing the cannonball run and i have started putting the stickers on!)

Thanks for the nice replys! Yes they will fit on a tuscan! I did look at some like barefoot's but they are too expensive and take a while to get hold of.
Im hoping to have live updates on my site over the run but will post pics when i will get back. Cant wait, 2 weeks on saturday it starts but im missing the car already! Drove it back to the UK on monday and dropped it off at gatwick tvr for the 12k service and will pick it up the day before the run.
Gcerbera, i like the site you have made and i would be willing to write something up for it when i get back.

Thanks all

Sacha

The handling so far seems to be pretty similar, the major difference is the steering feels more alive. only drove it from home to the dealer for its service so havent really tried it yet.

And no they are not spinners!

...and for PH?



No problem Ted! also if you send me some stickers i'll put pistonheads on my car! mail me if you do want some on the car.

About the offsets i dont know, they had them so i didnt ask and i have checked them on the wheels as i was rushed to get as much soughted as possible.

Most excellent Sacha! Maybe I should have gone for the 19, but with the revised suspension, I think I am on the safer side with the 18 multipiece.


I was suprised to hear from paul at gatwick tvr that your wheels rubbed. Mine rub too, but only the passenger side rear! You cant beat hand crafted cars!

They actually had to rework the fiber on my arches


Just called gatwick and asked them to do the same with my arches, better be safe than sorry as i have only done around 70 miles with the new wheels and was not ladden! next week i will be 2 up, with bags for a week and 3500 mile to do, not really the time to find out that your arches are really rubbing!
