Wheels for v8s or s3
Discussion
Not strictly aftermarket, but the later V8Ss came with the Imola 15" 5-spoke wheels as used on the front of 4.0 Chimaeras. They are the same size as the earlier 8-spoke 15" wheels and I think they look good on the S. (The equivalent 16" wheels from the rear of the Chimaera give you a nice subtle upgrade path if you are looking for monster brakes.)

Like this...
I think they would have looked even nicer if they were shadow chrome like wot I asked for!
Comparison with the 8-spoke...
I think the split-rims look good on the 'S'. If wasn't so vain about my gold calipers I'd fit a set of the split-rim look-a-likes with a dark gold centre and polished rims similar to this.
Here are some more....
What colour is your car?

The car's just a car. I DO miss it, but I miss my loss of reaction time more.
(And the cabin of a TR4A is a nicer place to be at any speed... The dials are much bigger for starters!)

Yes Graham, I remember the enormous dials, virtually the same as in my old TR-2. Happy days! And I remember back then everything happened in slow motion - like braking for a roundabout...... Not a chance!!! Not when both rear axle seals had decided to fail simultaneously and liberally coat both sets of rear brake shoes with 90 grade hypoid axle oil!. Happy days indeed ... okay, miss SOME of you.
