thanks chaps, i'm well aware they're made of crap but they look so right on a cerb.
got them off e-bay for 200 quid in anthracite which is what i wanted.
will 225's look a bit stretched?

I had a set in anthracite. The front tyres dont look stretched (unlike on spiders).
They can fall apart - mine did ! In fact nearly every set has ! Repaired ones are bit no no - unless you dont value your safety!

I really wanted some as I think they are the best looking wheels on a cerb, however I was talked out of it with all the comments. Good luck with yours. You will have a cerb the way the TVR designers intended

Anyhing wider than 225 on the front will make the car twitchy on anything but perfect roads (as I found out the hard way).

Here's a link to the spec page for The Last Cerbera

www.thelastcerbera.com/specification.php

and it has 225's on the front as well.
