Does anyone know where you can get a set of spyder wheels like on the tuscans.
Who are they made by?
Has any company copied them?

The TVR dealer in Heathfield 'dream machines'
were doing the genuine TVR 18 inch spiders
with tyres for just 1K.

I think that's pretty good value.

MATHEW, I've got a set of 16" Spiders that were originally on my Tamora for sale if you're interested?
They've got Avon ZZ3s on them that have only done 1500 miles (mostly running the car in).
Just remember that they have 5 studs not 4.
Cheers.... Andrew

I've got a set on my Sage Green Chim. Got them from the TVR Centre in Barnet. 0208 440 6666 Ask to speak to Steve

You have to be carefull on the camber setting with these, and the car has to have a 4 wheel alinment when they are fitted.

BTW I think they make my car and look the dogs undercarragie. You also get wider tyres 245/40/17 on the front 255/50/17 on the rear. Handling is more responsive ans really sicks to the road!!!

A must I would say!

Mr Freefall, did you get 5 stud conversions or a 4 stud copy..Interested to know as do not really want to change hubs etc, but i too love the bigger alloys in tuscan style, i think these with the zertec front light conversion would bring the griff bang up to date...(I can hear all the purists say, buy a tuscan then, but cannot stretch to that as yet..)

Assuming that it is most unlikely Freefall has changed the hubs, swivel pins, track rods, inverted the steering rack etc. I imagine these are Spider 'look alikes' ? Rich...

These are the TWS wheels as on the web site see the thread above (TWS FUSION). The TVR Centre and TWS worked togther to the the camber setting and the offsets correct for the Chim and Griff. There were 20 sets made and the TVR Centre in Barnet have some (I Think )in stock. I have a picture of the front wheel if anyone is interested ( Gary.Hewstone@IGS.co.uk). A set will cost you £1000.00 + VAT for wheels and tyres. They are 4 stud and bolt straight on your chim or griff, but you have to have a 4 wheel alinment due to the camber setting etc, and The TVR Centre did this all for me.

I must say I would never put the origional wheels back on my car, Well I can't, Just sold the complete set with S02 and 7 mm of tread for £350.00 on ebay.

Opp's I'll get some pictures of the car this weekend and update them on my profile so you can all decide if you like them or not.
