Hmm. Very tempting. Never been a fan of the estorils. Can you tell me the wheel sizes ( Inc offsets). Going up a size changes the overall look of the car. It sits more "positively".

I ordered the following which I cribbed from earlier threads but they went on perfectly (it was down at Str8six so I had them sent there with tyres fitted and they put them on)

Front: 16 x 7.5 ET25 4 x 108 PCD
Rear: 17 x 8.5 ET35 4 x 108 PCD

At the moment I'm keeping the Estorils in case it needs to go back to standard(ish)

They look great OP.

[mk1fan]

I like 'em.

I'm amazed at how much difference the extra inch has made to the stance of the car apart from the most pleasing aesthetics of the shiny wheels.

it is an incredibly sexy shape

I can't see the new one even coming close, hope they don't call it Griffith 3

You have a lovely car but I can't abide by these wheels, a cheap copy of BBS where the split-rim part is entirely fake. Sorry.

Got to love a dished alloy on these cars all the best if they are staggered front to rear

Oh stop being a grump, one piece, two piece or 3 piece. Pah! The wheel style looks fab!

[paul2000]

IF i could afford the real thing i might buy a set but they are like rocking horse poo to find , but to be fair the rims that i have on the car are deeper than BBS ,horses for courses ??

[vsonix]

hm... the offset looks a little low at the rear compared to the front. And I'm not sure about one piece rims dressed up to look like splits. Bit like chicken fillets in a bra, if you get my drift!
But, similar look to what I was going for with my Z3. I'm running BBS splits off an 8 series. What's the PCD on a TVR? Could BMW wheels be made to fit easily?

[paul2000]

If i remember right 108 ford

[paul2000]

I do like your wheels offset on i bmw is not the same

[paul2000]

Hi paul again also stud pattern is not the same

[RobXjcoupe]

I re-engineered a set of staggered bbs 2 piece RC41+RC42 to 4 stud. So it can be done.

[RobXjcoupe]

Above showing 4 studs

Fitted to my Focus. 8.5jx17 rears 7.5jx17 fronts. The original offsets were changed to suit the focus as was the centrebore and pcd.

Is that Halcyon Atlantis blue? Lovely colour.

Paul - car looks fantastic. What steering wheel do you have in there? Is it dished/flat?

The hilarious things is that 99.99% of people will see a wheel and not even know that wheels come in several parts sometimes. Who really cares?

Life has more to offer than posting miserable comments about something that someone else clearly loves.

And yes, I'm thinking of going 17 & 16" Lensos on mine as I find the Estorils dated and dull. I'll kepp them for resale mind you ;-)
