Saw these on fleabay, didn't know if they're wedge fitting but I know you guys have a passion for them. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TVR-OZ-RACING-5

Cheers.
Yes, they appear to be Wedge wheels, refurbed and with practically new tyres, so I hope the owner gets a decent price for them.
I would also want to check that they weren't buckled.

call me cynical, and pure hypothesis, but if you were minded to lift a set of wheels, you may have to trash the centre caps if you didn't have access to the key......

I didn't get the key with mine when I bought the car but I can open them no problem.

1/2" different offset you mean.

Hmm.
Seems like I was commenting on a completely different set of wheels

These look nice.

As for width:
The rear OZs on mine appear to be quite a bit wider than the fronts.

Also looks like the original bolts have been replaced with cap heads. Makes subsequent removal easier.

Just to clarify - they are wedge wheels.. and I didn't get them with centre caps as I believe the previous guy lost the key and bu99ered them getting them off (although there are less drastic ways of removing them as most know!). I must admit I didn't notice that one of them was 1/2" offset bigger than the rest until I cleaned them up (wasn't amuzed as I bought them in good faith from another wedge owner some years back having been led to believe they were a complete set of 4)... I kept them as spares but I'm now possibly having to sell the wedge and cerbera due to lack of work. So the first things to go are the spare wheels.. and anything else in the house that's not bolted down.. hopefully I'll have a job next week and no further clearout will be needed.
