They don't look too bad. A good budget alternative to the original OZ cross spokes (if you could actually find a set of 4 16"s).

Would they fit though ?

I have issues with my 15" rubbing on full lock, and with these wider also ?

Just wondering scratchchin as I'm after another set, so I can run summer (trackday tyres)/winter (road tyres)...... the trackday tyres really don't like these cold damp roads it's like ice skating.

I put a set of these on my Chimaera and I think they look absolutely brilliant! I was attracted because I could get the original TVR sizes and just swap over my existing tyres. So I still have 16 inch rears and 15 inch fronts with the correct widths. They will machine the wheels to the offsets the purchaser specifies so again I was able to have the original TVR offsets.They also drill the stud holes to the purchaser's spec so it doesn't matter which hubs you are running.

The only problem I had was that the first set of rear wheels I bought had the stud holes drilled off-centre which gave awful vibration. They readily acknowledged their mistake and I had a replacement set of wheels, properly machined, within 24 hours.

They have been on the car for 9 months now and I am very pleased with them. They carried the car up to 150 mph on the German Autobahn with no problem. I never got beyond 130 mph with my original wheels due to warping and horrendous vibration.
