Due to me running out of grip and talent at croft recently i'm in need of a front spider as ive found out this weekend that what i thought was a missing wheel weight is in fact a bent front rim. Wondered if anyone has an odd rim kicking about. Can collect as i travel round uk quite a bit. Also if anyone has a set of standard rims i'd be interested in buying those as well, decided to save the spiders for the road and track the standard rims.

cheers

How much are you after for them/ what are the tyres like, not to concerned with the condition of the rims as long as they are straight.

Give Racing Green TVR a call...they do an exchange dependant upon how damaged your rim is...and itll be less than £100! biggrin

At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask....
