I'm just finding way around, as a new member.
Went to the motor show last Sunday & made the obligatory visit to THE stand. Having recently upgraded from a 350i to a Chimaera I instantly fell in love with the new wheels on show on all the latest cars , bet they would look great (especially in black)on my pride & joy.
Salesman told me I could get a set, including tyres & hubs to change from 4 to 5 nuts !

Forgot to ask the name of the wheels ???
Any info. on where to go, best wheel size tyre wall height combo & how much dosh it 'll cost me?

I assume you're talking about spiders, not the 19" Typhon wheels. There's an upgrade kit from the factory (which includes a brake upgrade).

Thanks for info.
I assume my local independant would be able to sort it.

If you contact Neil Anderson at TVR he will be able to help.
But be aware that the wait is a very, very long one.
I have been on the list for at least 5 months and at the last contact I was 71st on the list and Neil reckoned that my order would be fulfilled in April but so far no news.

There were only a few sets of anthracite wheels available for the upgrade package when I got mine last year.

Well, anything any good is worth waiting for. If I put my name down , will they want a deposit?
Reckon I'll talk to my local friendly independant to see if he'll know a shortcut.
The Rep on the TVR stand said that if I go for the less popular wheel sizes (16" or 17") that there was little interest from owners of current models. So they were offering them to move the stock.

No deposit required,
just your name on the list and a lot of patience.
