Think they look pretty cool. Loads lighter than OEM spiders and a lot stronger too by all accounts smile

They look a nice alternative to the spiders, also much more traditional looking (almost griff style) than the skinny 5 spoke wheels that seem to be popular. The colour suits the car too!

Good choice of wheel I went with the Rotas but their Torque range, as you say so much lighter than the spiders and from a few arguments with pot holes much stronger too.

Cheers guys.

They are Rota Grid Drifts all round, finished in what they call Matt Bronze (believe it or not).

8.5 x 18 front, 9.5 x 18 rear, with 255/35/18 (std size) tyres all round.

Offsets are 44 at the front and 30 at the rear if memory serves me correct. No rubbing or other issues noted, and fitted using std TVR wheel nuts. Thinking of getting some for the Tuscan now.... smile

I got them from this guy if anyone is interested.... www.performancealloys.com ask for Tony. I ordered them on the Friday, and they arrived on Monday. Top service.

Don't think so. TVR's are really sensitive to odd offsets. I think the offsets that I'm running compared to the OEM offsets (42 front/33 rear) are as far as you can go. But no doubt someone will come along and prove me wrong biggrin

I really like the Jade R's too, but wanted something a little different. Plus, I think the Jade's only look really good in 19's, and I wanted to retain 18's....

For all 4 inc VAT, postage and a small charge for using credit card, they came to £852.00, which I think is pretty good value for money. I just got the tyres from my old spiders swapped straight over.

I went with offsets of 33 on the front and 35 on the rear, meant I got the dished spokes on the rear which I liked the look of, no chance on the front as it won't take the necessary width of wheel to get the dished spokes.
No rubbing issues with those offsets on 8.5" fronts with 9.5" rears.
I know they are not to everyones liking but I got fed up with always seeing spiders on every T car and wanted something different and the reduction in unsprung weight is a definite bonus.
