Having just found, refurbed and fitted these wheels, can anyone help me find center caps and some small TVR stickers for the spokes?



Thanks in advance

They are Raceline RL7 aren't they? One of the best looking alloys for a TVR to my opinion. I have them on my Griff and had a similar problem as you with finding center caps. After some extensive Internet search I found Mini wheelcaps. Ordered Wellercaps WHL-50 at www.minitrend.nl. They fitted in my bore size of 58mm with a little twisting at the back (they are 60mm diameter). Ordered some black TVR badges via Ebay (special order 45mm) and am very happy with the end result!

Fine looking Chim , those RL7's are an excellent find and really suit the car.
Looked good on Cerbs too.

Nice reg no btw.

Might be worth trying the SP12 caps? Available with a nice resin coated TVR badge. Top find on the rims BTW, always liked those and as rare as RHP in four hole smile

Wheels look great - can you post some more pics please?

How much and where from - I might be tempted?

Thanks for your help Peter. Spot on. Any pics of your Griff? Would like to see it.

Yeah, they are RL7's 17's all round.

Took me a while to find them, but Ebay came through once again. You just have to know what to type in the search.

I just uploaded a pic of my Griff on my PH profile. I don't know how to include them in a message. I suppose via a html link and than upload the pic to a site.

I was very lucky that the wheels were already fitted to the Griff. They are also 17" all round. 7,5J front 8J rear width.

I have 16" rears and 15" fronts - is this the standard setup - think so. If so why did TVR opt for smaller front wheels?
