Do you really want Spiders despite them being about as heavy as millstones and made from cheese? I agree that they look good, but for a look that's not too far off I'd go with SP12s to drive on, any day of the week (and keep the chocolate OE wheels in the shed for 'originality' if so inclined)...

if you want new or second hand, ebay is always a good bet.

PH classifieds. There was a bloke selling new sets for £450 + delivery (or free collection). I saw a new set of silvers for £625 on ebay the other day which did seem a little expensive in comparison

Down to last 2 sets apparently. I bought a set a while back, they are boxed c/w rim protectors, correct offsets and completely original.

given a second hand set of spiders would be £300 then it is a great bargain, not sure about resale though. If you want to consider this then maybe spiders are a better bet. Throw refurb onto the spiders and the pendulum swings the other way again!

Quite right, that means my spare wheels are worth nothing now. cry

I did not read it properly and just went to the site. Very wrong of me.

For these to be 'genuine' TVR you need to buy the small TVR transfers to stick on the wheel spokes and the TVR sticker for the centre cap.

Get real, your wheels are still worth something.

Still I've seen the TVR logo stickers advertised in the parts classifieds at £1.50 apiece...

Well, my local indy ordered three pallet loads and they came TVR stickered. I have a set of anthracite ones sat on the Sagaris now!
