On my car I have the original Imola wheels, I was wondering if these Imola wheels ever been produced in 17"??? Maybe for a other brand or something.
It would be great to give it 1" more, in front (16" rear wheel + adapter) and back (other 17" wheel).
Who was the producer of the imola's anyway?

No.
15 and 16 only.

There might have been some replicas, but most folk have gone elsewhere for bigger rims.

Thank you for the replies, but I expect these wheels where not made only for tvr volume would be too low. Could it be that for some other brand or aftermarket the same design wheel is produced?

Imolas were made specifically for TVR

Personally, I love the look of Ford RS wheels - available in 16-inch - or the TVR Spider wheels (in 16-inch) alround really suit both the Grief and Chimp perfectly.

Clearly, the change to Spiders needs conversion from 4 to 5 stud.

I think 17-inch is really the largest you can go on the Chimp, Grief and T-cars (Sag excluded) for overall handling dynamics. You'll have to ask the Ford guys if the RS came in 17.
