Cut your TVR's unsprung weight

Just 10 pairs of lightweight hubs for Wedges available


Raceleda alloy wheel hub

TVR racer and 'Bible' author Steve Heath is offering lightweight alloy wheel hubs for TVR Wedges -- and there are only 10 pairs available: first come...

Available in either black or gold, the parts, made by Raceleda, not only look much better than the OEM parts because of their anodised and hardened finish, but each hub weighs less than a bag of sugar and removes 2kg of unsprung weight on each side. This helps improve the handling and the weight reduction also improves the power to weight ratio.

Benefits:

  • 1kg weight compared to 3kg for the original
  • Completely compatible with original TVR Wedge uprights, bearings and brakes.
  • Completely compatible with Tower View Race Services (and others) brake upgrades.

Available as a result of Raceleda holding "a bit of a firesale", two Raceleda alloy hubs will cost £110 excluding VAT delivered to the UK. Delivery will be 5 to 7 days.

Cheers Joolz - that's auto porn! Sadly no Sierra hubs, just Escort, Cortina and Granada. When I have some pennies I might get in touch with them though, so thats one for my bookmarks!

Do a bit more searching, I'm sure there's someone already making the sierra hubs.

I have a 1986 280I located in the states. Looking to improve the brakes. The 10 sets of Racelea's caught my eye. Will they fit? And, if so do you ship to the States?

I bought a set for the taz racer. they look well made and save quite a lot of weight...

I dont think Steve can ship to the usa. most small uk companies can't get insurance to sell to the states !!!!!!

you'll just have to pop over for a holiday !!
