Saw these and snapped them up - but don't know how hard the centre caps are to come by - if indeed the seller doesn't have them.

For £250 I'd say you got an absolute bargain even without the centre caps. New theyd be around £180 plus VAT per wheel without tyres.

New, you would be lucky to find them!

With tyres and centre caps, I've seen second hand sets got for £800+

Look on ebay right now, there are some centre caps for sale.

Just search for 'tvr', I'm not sure what they were called. They're deffo in there.

AArrgghh! You bugger! I was just about to snatch those up. You must have beaten me my milliseconds!

To be honest though, I only wanted them for the rear tyres, but at that price it was too much of a bargain to resist.

Parrot, I can't find then but I have seen them on ebay from time to time. Hopefully the seller has them anyway but thanks for letting me know.

Chimleic - sorry mate I spent ages trying to convince myself they were definatly Estorils as well. I don't actually even want the things as my Chim has a set of TSW Fusion's made specially in the correct offset etc (one of only 20 sets I believe) but at that price I had to snap them up.
Not actually sure what I am going to do with them, I also have 3 Chimaera 5 spokes with good tyres in the garage as well so looks like a big sale is coming up soon.

These look Suspiciously like the original wheels from the car when I bought it. I sold them for £380, on ebay.

I had the spiders put on the car for £1k + vat from the TVR Centre. If Roy gave you all the paperwork to you when you bought it off him it shows the cost there.I decided to sell the origional wheels.

Yeap Roy gave me the paperwork, got no intention of removing the spiders as they look fabulous, but the Estorils looked such a bargain I couldn't resist. Do you know if the Estorils were on the car from new as they must have been an option since they are 500 wheels?

Bargain at the price, but check out the tyres, they may be 'out of date'. If so, bin the tyres and keep the wheels. Tyres are useless if over 3 or 4 years old. The rubber has hrdened so much the grip factor is well down.
