19'' Spiders?

[JorEl]

Can anyone advise if I am correct here... The standard 18" Spiders on the Tuscan if I remember correctly, are alomost identical (if not actual) TSW Alloys from back in the day. I recall TSW done: Stealths, Spiders, etc. among others.

Anyone ever heard if they were available in 19"s? And.. how would they go on a Tuscan, maybe even only 19"s on the rear with the origianl 18" on the front? Or 19"s all round?

Any comments?

The cars were offered with 16" spiders as standard and the 18s were an optional upgrade...as for 19" spiders, never seen or heard of them.

18" wheels became standard fitment fairly early on - - perhaps from 2002.

TVR Power do offer a 19" wheel for the T cars.

Thanks Nick, do you have the web link? Can't find the wheel section on their site myself.

I think Dom might have stopped doing them as they dissapeared off the web site a little while ago.

Might be worth 'phoning Dom/TVR Power and see what the situation is.
Could probably give you pcd/data for the studs, which might help in finding alternatives.

Yeah I'll give him a call. Was it TSW that were the OEM of the spiders? Anyone?

Cadbury I believe, they were awarded the contract after their earlier work on the S6 finger followers.












(for those without a sense of humour, thats a joke, we have a S6 T350 on spiders)

Too true, even managed to gouge one of mine with a fingernail, has anyone fitted the 19" Power wheels to a Tam

Well it brought a smile to my face.

There was one in Racing Green recently. Not sure if it is still there. I liked it but others thought it was over sized.

Just seen that it has been sold but it's still in the old style classifieds. Not Power wheels apparently but very similar

Dom has them on his Sag, is the suspension the same?

An alternative to the 19" Power wheels would be Team Dynamics "Jade R"; they are basically the same as those from TVR Power but have the Jade R logo on them. They seem to be quite popular.
I got mine from Wheelbasealloys at a very good price, but they have been supplied with the wrong offset (although the site stated "supplied with correct offset for your car ), so better speak to them, first. Never mind, got the rears exchanged for another 40 quid, so that's sorted.
