OK please be gentle but I have always loved wire wheels on an E-Type and was wondering what they would look like on my Tuscan.
Can one of you kind Ladies or Gents with photoshop skills do me a picture so that I realise that it would look terrible so that I can get on with my life.




Thanks in advance,
Tony.
PS, yes in reality they would need to be 18" with low profile.

Personally I think it will look terrible, TVR's should be on Spiders!!

Thanks Guys, not convinced myself. Looks a bit 'Californian' !!!

The wheels in the other pic are actually Silverstone Performance SP12's.

Below are the original Spiders.

I don't know exactly which type of wire wheels you were thinking of that come in 18" sizes, but a set of Borrani's in that size would be £6900+VAT, which I imagine should help your decision just as much as a bit of photoshoppage.

I always liked wire wheels on the E Type but hated the fact that they always seemed to go out of balance and made the car bad to drive on the motorway, I suppose we should have tried to get them clocked up but never did.
I'm not sure about wires on the Griffith, they don't look bad but I would keep the standard wheels on a Griffith if I had one.

If the E-type in your pic hadn't also had a bit of steering lock on, it would have been much more difficult.

Sounds like we might have saved you from an expensive mistake. wink

I tried to find an E type photo as close to the position of my Tuscan.
Yes, I had heard that good wire wheels cost but wanted to get the idea out of my head.
Your render is so good I still like the idea. silly
