Lucky man, enjoy the V8S!. Agreed, horrid wheels, dont remember seeing them before but no doubt one of the V8S guys will be along soon.

They certainly are not S Series wheels. What tyre size is fitted?

There is a set of 8-spokes on eBay now...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tvr-S2-Alloy-Wheels-And-...

Recently HHC were advertising new-old-stock slots from, IIRC, around £75 each, so maybe worth a call if you like that look.

OZ 8-spokes were "standard" but you could have specified anything from the TVR range from new. Here's the 8-spokes compared the Estorils....



In answer to your other post, no you don't have to replace the 17" with 17", you can choose what you like. When you make your choice though, you might want to have the geometry checked to make sure nothing else has been mucked around with.

In anticipation of your next question; Dunlop Blue Response or Fast Response.

Enjoy your new 'S' thumbup[url]

Hmm - whilst I yak'd when I saw the one wheel up close, it actually doesn't look bad on the whole car photo. For me though the 8 spokes rule the day. I saw someone who had escort cosworth's on his - I thought they looked quite good.

You could try these

Yeh, not great ............. But not half as bad as I was expecting. My personal preference is for the original Oz 8 spokes but I do like the look of the 16" Compomotives you have suggested you will be looking at. 17" not for me though. But all a matter of opinion. How boring would it be if we all liked the same thing.
Also like your colour combo.
Enjoy.
