Does anyone have wheels created by Image Wheels?

[bullet][url]Image Wheels website|http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/[/url][/bullet]If possible could you post a picture or two on this forum or email photos of the wheels as I'm interested in seeing them close up and finding out more about their quality and craftsmanship.

I fair while ago I had Image wheels make me up some new outer rims for some O.Z. split rims I had. Whilst I made up the wheels myself, I was pleased with the quality of the rim and Image's flexibility in making me up some bespoke sized rims. not too expensive either.

Ive got 17" Image HT 's , "inspired" .. ahem somewhat by BBS RX's.
Took my car to Dudley to be measured up for them by Harry , couple of months for delivery.
Like being measured for a Tailor made suit .
Pretty light and strong , had mine fitted so i could fit bigger front brakes for track days.
Rears are wider than the fronts.
In fact had the wheels off today - pre Oulton tommorow - and checked them over ,all in A1 condition - and they've been over a few kerbs on circuits .

No, but the chap that I worked with for ten years had some made for his TVR. IMHO they are very good. You may also be interested in their arch rivals, Compomotive www.comp.co.uk/flash.htm

Have used compmotive but they don't make anything that would look good on a TVR, IMO

One of first companies I looked into was Compomotive and I fell in love with the PC wheel...



Unfortunately Compomotive have quoted over £1000 more than the same size (and similar spec) wheels from Image
