these alloys - worth anything?

[shnozz]

thinking of keeping these and having them done in anthracite for the project S. However, Claire likes the original S1 chrome alloys on her car so thinking might be worth flogging these to help pay for the engine upgrade. However, not so sure its worth it if they are only going to raise peanuts. Any views? 4 stud fixing

oh, and I thought I better update Claire's profile

How long this Project S going to take? through the winter months i supose so it would be ready for spring/summer 05

no idea at the moment mate. Would like to say summer 05 but it really depends on sourcing parts and a number of other factors.

Phil,

They look a bit like Rimstocks to me which were pretty good, I don't think they are made any longer tho. Nice wheels for the S IMHO.

[RichardR]

I like the look of those.

Nothing to put them on though!

[shnozz]

thanks for the positive reaction guys, might be enough to persuade Claire they should be used on the project S, soon to be named.

Richard mate - get your arse down to my place for a Hants region meet and you can ride shotgun if ever you need a TVR fix. As that awful song goes "dont be a stranger"

Thanks for the offer. I'm hoping to still make some of the Hants meets now that I've proved my credentials by arriving at least once in a TVR!

I'll look forward to soaking up some of that V8 goodness.

best not ask Claire to take you for a spin once her motor is back on the road then

be good to see you there

[M@H]

well I'd use them ...but then again that's why I bought them originally and they do look good on the car. I bought them here from PH classifieds originally and have never seen another set since.

Edited to add, The wheels are eithera Rimstock or a Rimstar and were available as an after market wheel around 1988-91.. accordingly a period classic to suit the S Series.

Cheers,
Matt.

I did use them on the S when bought, and later upgraded to chimaera wheels and sol;d them M@H, have some photos with them on an S if you are interested.
