Just have been given two spare OZ Slots wich have almost identicle markings

The 'new' wheels have the following





The old wheels are the same except the ET value is 25, does this refer to the offset?

Thanks Han

So now 4 wheels at 25 offset and 2 at 29 (mm I guess). so would need to keep both 29's on the same axle ie both front or both rear?

Ideally yes, but wouldn't think 4mm either way will make a noticeable difference to handling ?

ideally I would say absolutly unless getting home in an emergancy and would add be super carefully if mixing on the front axel.

I can't imagine it would be any more significant than having tyres from different manufacturers on the same axle - certainly a hell of a lot better than that bloody space saver!

Lol I wouldn't do that either. Ok to get you home as I said but IMHO asking for trouble at speed then breaking hard or mid corner parhaps I'm just conservative.

Very, I would say rolleyes

One or other wheel, even on the front, sticking out a further 4mm is hardly going to throw the whole balance of the car out ? Probably more discrepency in the average TVR chassis than that anyway scratchchin
