Bought some wheels in the beginning of June, they finally arrived last week. The problem was to get Toyo T1-R 255/35 18 tires in the UK where I ordered the wheels so at last i just bought the rims from UK and the tires here in Sweden.

This is how she looks with her new wheels on:




I have been looking for wheels for 9 months before i ordered these. The thing is that I wanted to get as close as possible to the original ET, which is 35 on all for both RL7:s and OZ Saturns.

The new wheels are 8x18 in front and 9x18 in back, ET35 on all. Tires 225/35 front and 255/35 in back.
The car handles perfect and there is no rubbing in the wheel arches, that was a problem with the original 225/50 (SP6)in the front.

Looks very good. However, I bet they are a pain to clean. Wife has BBS wheels on her Z3 and they are a sod to keep clean.

The wheels are made in hypersilver with inox edge and some kind of black with inox rim.

You can find them at TopGear http://www.topgear.co.uk/acatalog/Devil_Alloys_&am... or at Alloywheels.com

The wheels are called Devil Riviera.


I have just cleaned them once and that wasn´t that hard, it is much more space in between the spokes on these rims then i had on the originals on my TVR350i. Those where hard to clean and keep clean. I have put som wax on the wheels before I put them on to the car to make them easier to clean.

I forgott to tell that I didn´t use the wheel centers that came with the wheels. If I should have done that I would have to cut in the rear axels as when you fit Spiders. Instead of the centers that came with the wheels I have put on wheel centers from NITRO wheels. They have a version that is raised about 15 mm and make more space behind it. I have put TVR logos that i bought on ebay on the centers.
