Alternative (19inch ?) wheels for Sag

[paul1962]

I'm considering changing the wheels on my Sag.

For those who have already done it what wheel/tyre size did you go for and which wheel ?
More importantly what difference have you noticed from the original 18 spiders ?

There are a lot of wheels out there and not all of them look good on the Sag.

I like the 19inch wheels being sold by TVR Power, similar to JADE-R, but someone is saying they're too heavy.
Even better are those on "Candy" when it appeared at the motorshow, anyone know who made those ?

Any photos would be appreciated.

Thanks for any replies/comments

I like the Jade-R but the ones I'm thinking of were on Candy.

Thanks Claire. Just got to find some now which might be easier said than done.

I think I may wait until Chatsworth and see some wheels "in the flesh".

Out of interest what width wheels and sized tyres are people running ?
The natural size for 19inch wheels would be 19X8.5 and 255/30 tyres but I see the TVR Power 19inch wheels are 19X10 with 265/30 rear and 19X8.5 with 235/35 tyres on the front. This gives a 6mm increase in rear diameter and 11mm at the front.

I assume there is a good reason for going with different sizes ?
