£1500 to spend.
Discussion
Keep it in the bank until something breaks 
If you like the current wheels why change them?
If you think it handles perfectly already why change the suspension?
If something needs replaceing then by all means 'upgrade' but just because the cash is burning a hole in your pocket seems silly to me
Tyres will wear out, the cash will come in handy then, your'll need a service/MOT sometime during the year the money will come in very handy then
But it's your money at the end of the day,

if the car is all ok as you say it is,then personally id keep the money in the bank for emergecies/future upgrade to different model(once bitten by the tvr bug youll allways want one).youll hardly see any return for your investment(?) if at all.if you insist your going to keep your car for many years and would really like to splash out for the fun of it,then id improve in the following order:-poly bushes all round,uprated suspension,uprated brakes,engine mods,then lastly and by every means least-the wheels(hate 'wrong wheels' on a car as it makes them look 'boy racered'imho).hope this helps,cheers-mv
if I had to spend the money then thats where I'd spend it 
The guys at Peninsula were pretty convincing about the improvement in ride quality and stability despite a higher rated spring.
Despite this I couldn't justify the £1k bill for a set of Nitrons so I replaced my knackered rear Bilsteins earlier this year (only 10k miles use) with AVOs. For various reasons (apparently due to mismatch with the spring rating according to joospeed who is the authority on such items) these were next to useless and so I replaced them after 500 miles with TVR supplied Bilsteins. These are very good when making progress but the ride quality over the local poor quality, patched roads is not good, particularly before the moving parts have gotten properly warmed up!
I don't know what state your shockers are in but if you're tempted by a Nitron upgrade then I recommend you discuss the options with joospeed or Peninsula.

What suggestions on spending £1500 on a standard 1993 4 litre Chimaera?
But seeing as you already have one, I'd be with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" brigade. But you could spend a few hundred on funding us both for a trackday in my Chim if you're desperate to spend some cash

,De Longhi do a nice one for that money (only travels as far as flex allows though)Gassing Station | Chimaera | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
