Taraka wheels

[sibo]

Hi, does anybody know what make wheels the 'Tvr Power' taraka 500 car has and are they 17" front and 18" rears. Thanks

They are Spiders (fitted to most Tuscans) and I think they are 17" but ask them and they'll tell you. You'kll have to change the hubs to 5 spoke if you like them - not sure of the cost but it must be around £2k all in.

These wheels have been replaced with Spiders about 3 weeks ago.

Ah ha...
In which case they must be either 16" or 18" because I don't think Spiders come in 17".

[FlipFlopGriff]

They do look like 16" but I think they do 17" as well. Can't imagine they'd fit 16" and I think the 18" will be pushing it.

I cannot think of any cars TVR fitted a 17" 'Spider' wheel to?
The early Tamora was fitted with 16" with 18" offered as an option, whoch most people opted for And the Cerbera and Tuscan are offered with 18" wheels. So I don't believe there has been a 17" 'Spider'. Rich...

p.s. There are several Chimaeras with 18" wheels now.

Rich,
Must be getting confused - it is the Cerb standard wheels that are 17" (I think). Not keen on the Spiders personally but each to their own. Can't be spending any more cash anyway - rear suspension rebuild and last service nearly £1,700.

Simon,

I understand that the wheels fitted to Powers Taraka (pictured)were supplied by TVRMotion, I know that Greg Lunn (Newlun Design) was involved with sourcing these wheels, I suppose that Dom (TVRPower) would be the person to talk to...

Hope this helps and good luck.

Just looking through the classifieds and noticed a 4.0hc chim with the same or very similar wheels.
Think I might mail him.

To me they seem like these,

They are split rim style of some sort
you can just make out all the fasteners around the rims

They're Racingharts.

[mrsflipflopgriff]

Well the're not on there anymore so I'd call Dom asap as he may want to sell them.

Yep, the early Cerberas had RL7's (like my Griff) and the Speed 6 Cerbera had 6 spoke 16" wheels, when the Spiders came out I think they all went onto 18"'s...
