Alternative to spiders

[anonymous-user]

As the spider wheel package seems to be on hold, was browsing for alternatives - any comments on these?

Siverstone TVR have developed a wheel package. They were at the Growl last weekend.

Look very nice.

Seemed quite a reasonable price to me.

Anybody have more details on this, or maybe a photo? Can't find anything about it on their website.

Dod,

Give em a call.

They were handing out flyers over the weekend, perhaps they will send you one.

From memory. .......

They do two packages just wheels, and wheels/tyres.

They are bigger wheels, with lower profile tyres - can't remember the sizes though - Dusty, can you?

Price for the full set was under £1500 inc VAT, think wheels were £800-£900.

The guy from Silverstone said they were planning to have a demo set, so that you can turn up and try 'em before buying.

Hi dod,i've got these wheels on order for my chim 500 in NZ (17"x8f 18"x9r).There ultra lightweight, so should help in the unsprung weight department.Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.Have also found Racinghart very helpfull to deal with too.Are'nt these available through TVR motion in UK? You'll obviously need 5x 114.3mm hub conversion,having these converted here unless anybody knows where i can get them off the shelf.

Speak to Richard Smith Direct. It all depends whether or not you have adjustable shocks...zz

Oh it was you!
You were parked behind me at Griff growl. I remembered seeign the car in some ones profile but couldnt remember whose.
Those wheels look stunning.

thanks!

Very similar to Silverstone TVR's new wheels, which are themselves a copy of the old discontinued OZ's.

Hi dod,

Perhaps just take a look at www.brock.de

B6 & B13 would be my favorites for my griff. Have the B 13 on my S1 and they look and feel absolutely phantastic. Thinking about buying the R6 for my griff.

But don´t know if the company could supply you with the relevant data to get the wheels confirmed to your local law(s). Might be your job !

If you call them, then please call Mr. Stefan Klein.

Just a hint because i searched myself nearly to "death" to find a manufacturer for alloy wheels here in germany who simply said "no prob, we will get them "offizialized". And they did for my s1

kind regards

Jerko

A few people have done there own conversion to spiders, can be a headache but worth it.

[Guillotine]
