These are SP12s, but ProRace 1.2s look very similar

You could always come to Burghley House, Stamford (just off the A1 about 100 miles safe from London) on the Sunday after Easter from 10 am.. 450 TVRs will be there. Therefore by the very nature of that many TVRs being there, there will be a multitude of wheels actually on TVRs to gawp at review with a eye to making a selection.

Last time I visited a tvr show most cars where on standard wheels. I find it’s the pistonheads lot that change from standard. Mind you haven’t been to a show off day for a few years now so things may have changed

That might work if I've managed to get the front two wheels over to Lepsons and back by then thumbup

Hi Anthony, is this the 8th? I might drag the Chim out of the garage for this as I am now free this weekend. (Or park the German thing around the corner)

Yes, it’s the 8th, and the convertible Porsche (aka “Pork Chop”) can be parked in the public car park for free if the Chim won’t start. Look forward to seeing you (both?). You (and Mrs TV8) are welcome to stay at mine if you prefer to drive up the night before. I am 35 miles beyond Stamford and I already have a couple of Chim owners staying.

That is because they are the same wheel!
