Pics of Chimaeras with after-market alloys

[slideways]

does anyone recognise these?
what make are they

If I was guessing they look a little RH Alloys style, usually found on VW's going for the Porsche rep look, and probably only 5 stud as the pic shows.
I'm sure certain people would love the irony of a TVR on Porsche rims.

They are RH's in that photo above. Not real 2 pice rims tho so a nightmare to refurb.

Here is a picture of mine on RH ZW1's. 17x8s and 17x9s. Real two piece rims. Probably going to sell them on very soon as i've been running my Racelines all the time this year.

Hi Paul, interested in your RL7s - I fitted RL7s to my Griff 7 or 8 years ago and I've only ever seen one or two other Tivs with then on in a 4 stud fitting. There are several that have had a 5 x stud conversion and used Cerbera wheels but not many on 4 x studs. What size are yours, off-sets etc. And... when did you buy them, I would love to get a spare but I don't think they are available these days Rich...

Only photoshop examples i'm afraid, but these may help find a style and also my wheel selector may help too.

Antera 349 - come in 7x17 ET20 and 7.5x17 ET 35 so almost perfect for front and rear


TSW Catalunya - i will be getting these shortly, in 17 inch (7" rear, ok for my 400 with at 225 tyre)


Dare V2 -


Kahn RSS -


Kosei Racer - no longer available, though other companies do make very similar rims

Very nearly bought these - wished i had now. really liked them!


TSW Kyalami -


ACT Jordon R - actually made by Team Dynamics


Bellini Condor - love these, but offset is wrong for front (ET37)


TSW Volcano -


If only the chimaera had 18" Spiders as standard...

Hello Pete aka Sideways

16+17 is the optimal size for a Chim in my eyes. It just looks right and proportional. What make are your rims? Did they come in the right offset?

Cheers Jens

It was a long time ago but i found the thread: http://pistonheads.com/xforums/topic.asp?h=0&f...

Team Dynamics Mirage
7"x16" ET25 with Toyo 205/50ZR16
7.5"x17" ET 37 with Toyo 225/45ZR17

Thanks Pete!

ive been on the tyre calculator and you can`t get close to the orig size with a 16" front wheel .

Errr, yes you can.

205/55ZR15 standard front tyres = rolling circumference of 1850mm

7"x16" ET25 with Toyo 205/50ZR16 = rolling circumference of 1865mm

So at 100km/h on the first tyre, you'd be doing 100.8km/h on the second tyre.

Less than 1%, i'd say that was pretty close.
