Is there anywhere that supplies TVR badged wheel centres rather than the orange standard ones?

Figure the car would look so much better if they matched in to the wheel or were at least black, but TVR badging would finish them off

Dealers can supply the black with silver logo versions. At the MS the cars had silver with black logo.

That's the business

My local dealer is talking about taking mine to paint them and apply logos, but me being lazy just wants to buy them already done.

Anyone know who has some in stock?

I'm sure Mike V8Smith got some from TVR Power, but also looked into getting some made...

Check his posts on the S forum or drop him a line...

I Honestly thought that your dealer simply needs to order them from TVR with the right part number?

Just spoken to Racing Green and what they supply is self-adhesive stickers that cover the wheel centres at £5.34+vat.

Only problem is that the fella was pretty sure you can't get the centre caps off without removing the wheel, so I think I'll leave it until warmer times, then pop in and pick up a set

Dave is correct TVR Power (02476366177) sell the 60mm hard backed stick on type, cant remember exactly how much, but they were less than £5 each. Ask for Andy and they are Black with a Silver logo, if you have no luck mail me as I have some somewhere.

Later

Mike

They should just pull off, although it's a lot easier to push them off from behind. They are held in via a few little dimples in the cap that pop over the lip.

Well... this is on the 17" RLs I have on the Cerb, coulbe different for the spiders I guess?

I lost one and found that Castle TVR have some they take off of old wheels. Gary gave me a couple for the car FOC.

They are fitted in 10seconds with no need to remove the wheel.

We got ours through these:
www.auto-motif.co.uk/system/index.html
It doesn't now work for me for whatever reason but they will do whatever size and colour combo.
We went with gold on black for the OZ multispokes to match the rest of the badges. From memory they were £16 for the 4.

Am I right in thinking these are the 19" wheels off the Sag? Absolutely gorgeous. I asked PW what were the chances of having them on my Tusc. He was doubtful as they were £3,000 and didnt actually fit the Sag. I reckon they are bootiful. And yeah my mistake that pic does show the correct centres, not black logo as I said earlier. Doh.

Nah that's from the Saggy:



But the Typhon wheels to appear to look almost the same:



£3000 for upgraded wheel - ouch, mind you if they were 22" spinners

Thanks to Luca Brazzi for the pics again
