Does anyone have a spare.....

...front 18" spider wheel for sale? I have the car booked in on Thursday for a geometry setup and one of the front wheels is buckled.
Have checked the usual places...classifieds, E-bay etc, but no single fronts anywhere!

Not too bothered if the wheel is kerbed or scratched as i plan on getting the others refurbed soon or possibily a new set of something altogether...

Mail me via profile if you wish...cheers!

And if you are offered four extra I will have them.

I had the same problem and couldn't find a replacement anywhere. Then I was told that Racing Green had a 'swap' facility. They took off my buckled spyder and replaced it for £65. The replacement looks like new..... and is straight. Well worth looking up.

I know this doesn't directly help but I have seen these on a Tuscan and they do look very good:

are the wheels properly refurbed?

I was quoted more than that to refurbthe kerbing mark on my wheels by a local company. I might as well just swap out four wheels with them!!!!! then they are guaranteed straight too.

As far as I can tell the replacement spyder is fully refurbed.

Hope that helps!

Does anyone have pics of these on a Tuscan? I think they look great on the Sag.

Was informed by RG that the wheels are fully refurbed, including straightening if needed...look as good as new as far as i can see...even has the TVR marking on one of the spokes....

I have been looking at various options other than the std spider, and looked at those, but dont think it will suit the tuscan. Fubar, who owns a cerbera has put them on his car and if im honest i dont think they suit that either....see here... http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... I think it suits the Sag cos if its shape and lines, which the Tuscan hasnt got...
