290 S Alloys, were these original?

[greenranger]

Now ive seen the S's with a few different types of alloys on.. Originally the wolfrace slot mag wheels, oz 8 spokes (route o.z if were being fancy ) & some of the later S's with imolas. Now Id like to think i kinda know my stuff when it comes to which alloy wheel was on which model of TVR.. But this one has eluded me! I recall seeing a 290S for breaking on ebay with some 'oz borbet' wheels (15 x 7J 6 Spokes) were these actually factory option?

P.S after two more oz 8 spokes to complete a set





Cheers
Steve

From memory Borbet were (are?) a wheel manufacturer rather than an O.Z brand. I have not seen an S fitted with such a wheel.

Cheers Tony, the ad was from a TVR breakers yard so I thought they may of been originals, think the 'oz' part threw me.. Only saw them once before on an S.

The hunt for two more oz 8 spokes shall continue
