If anyone has any other ideas please let me know!

Sorry for the hijack paperbag but Ive tried everyhere for just the wheel centre for an estoril. No reponses to my post requesting ideas on PH and none available on ebay so Im stuck also.
There were a few estoril wheels on ebay the other day however. Not sure they were 16s but may be worth a look.

Aparently TVR ran out of 15's so the late Chim's have 16's on the front & back! (Mine's a 2002).

Thanks for all your posts. The hunt is over! I managed to get one from Bellhill Garage.

£250 + vat! After nearly 2 weeks of looking and my car off the road I gave up. Most the people I spoke to seemed to think that was cheap and that they are changing hands for about £400-£500 at the moment!

I've seen several sets (2x 15 and 2x 16) for around the £700 mark. I'd have gone for that and flogged the other three on individually at those prices to cover my costs...

Oh wait... that's what I did with the Chimaera wheels. hehe (didn't buy any tyres in two years of ownership)

I had thought of that but didn't want the bother of selling the other 3 wheels.

I'm happy, I'll have my car back on the road tomorrow.
