Good looking wheels there ,that cross spoke design suggests performance driving driving,rather than some of the bling bling designs which IMO dont suit the Chim's 60's inspired body design.

Very nice indeed, I did the same and am extremely pleased with the difference and suprised how little if has impacted on the handling...

Ride is a bit harsher than before but nothing to bad, handling wise seams to be very good although not really pushed it that much yet, I'll see when i get it on the track!

They look great, just the kind of thing I was looking at until money got diverted into other avenues rolleyes
If you don't mind me asking what make are they and what sort of money did they set you back.
And what offsets did you go for? rotate

Hi, I have been trying to fit 17" wheels on for a long time but ccan't find something to fit all my requirements.
Can you let me know the exact made,model and size of the wheels (are they the same for front and rear). What offset are they? Did you need to put spacer on?
What size of tyre are you runnng (both front and rear)
Finally I want to somehow to keep the TVR logo for the wheel centre. Did yours, can't see from the photo, have that on.
Thanks & best regards.
Winston

I got them second hand from PH classified, They were bought originally from wheel mania in birmingham for an S Model so i'm not sure of the offsetts etc.

Raceboy, I spotted your car at donnington a couple of weeks ago (DPRSC day, I was the bike instructor, black fireblade) it looks very nice and was definatley the best sounding car on the circuit! I should be doing some of the trackzone days there soon so will probably bump into you (hopefully not in the car!!).

The DPRAC day was a good trackday and for £5 you can't question the value, shame a few bikes chucked it down the road early on but they didn't look too bad. rotate
Probably not ventureing out on to track again this year, the odds of dodgy weather are too great but next year I'm planning to do a few more Donington days and venture a little further afield. driving
See you out there.
