Fubar, I saw your car in the garage yesterday, you have a great set of rims on that beast, I've been looking for a similar set for a while, did I see them on the TVR's at last years London motor show? where did you get them? by the way your TVR dust caps look great on my Tuscan!

yikes Not sure how to break the news to you Nick, but when I came into work this morning your car was on bricks and the wheels were missing! Dont worry we are working closely with the local cop shop to try and find the ratbag....... not to point the finger or anything but have a rough idea who it might be .....

Oi shapey! Put them wheels back...NOW ranting

Apparantly they are/where the Saggy Arse Motor Show Car wheels. Bought them off Tim Lamont of ACT fame. He's only up the road from you too smile (Also sell them on tvrcarparts.com or whatever it is, same price but no carriage charge from Tim for collection or delivery to Austec wink)

nono TC, waaaay below the mark sonny!

Mmm, which motor show Sagaris?

The most recent (Docklands) Show cars had fat 5 and skinny 7 spoke 19" rims on rather the VX'ish "Crown of thorns" 18" ones on your Cerbera and I'm fairly certain the original gunmetal concept car ran on Spiders.

They were run on the factory Development Sagarisies (I don't know what the official plural is paperbagwink ) 'WNM and 'CVK and a Black Demo' car for a while...
... I think Dom Tricket may have also had them on his car, painted very dark, but I could be wrong.

I was never that keen on them. IMHO Their styling was totally at odds with the car and they didn't look machically functional enough to build a racier character into it. Just a bit too bling for my liking, especially as the first ones were very chromey.
hurl
The duller finish, as on your car, is far nicer and they can look excellent with a slight (Silver to darker silver) flip to make them look a little less heavy handed and detract from the oversharp edges.

As I said, all IMHO, as long as they increase your enjoyment of your car then they are performing perfectly. wink

Oh yes and Shapeshifter put those dust caps back you pikey!

Well chaining the misses to the kitchen sink is a little dated, im a modern man these days Fubar, nowadays, you just stick one of her hands to a hot hob! and leaving the other to operate the cooker controls.

Fubes, ordered the wheels today, Austec are fitting them next week, I've told ACT to forward the sales commission onto yourself.
