Wondering what and where the cheapest prices are for TVR alloys - 16/18" spyders and tyres all in?

Currently looking at either upgrading my alloys or just getting new tyres (currently SO2s).

In the past the cars had 18" on - I'm debating trying them again. So, the options I'm considering are:

1. 18" + Toyo's - been quoted £700 all in (including spaces, fitting, etc.) for the alloys by Team Proactive, and £510 for the Toyos on www.mytyres.co.uk (225 35 ZR18 x2 + 255 23 ZR18 x 2) - Total £1210. Anyone got a cheaper quote?

2. 16" Spyders - was quoted around £500 by HHC sometime ago, all in for used tyres and alloys.
Anyone fitted 16" spyders to their Cerbera? Any pics.? I like the ride with my current 16", but love the spyder look.

3. Just get some new rubber all round - Toyos @ £339 on mytyres.co.uk (225/45 ZR16 x 2 + 245/45 ZR16 x 2)

Any cheaper anyone - I'm based at Slough and Oxford at present?

Cheers,
Tommo

cinman said:I thought the 225/35 meant 225cm width with a 35% profile? Is that right? If so, then your rears have a lower profile than your fronts?


Typo! Its 35 (or 40's)! Decided to keep my originals and just replace the rubber - or get a set of 16" spiders if someone has any to sell, quick.

Cheers,
