Does anyone know where I can get these from?

[ol' dirty]

Sorry to poison your forum with a query about a lesser marque

I am trying to find a set of alloys (Think they are called T-slot's) for my Scimitar, don't mind what condition...so long as they are not buckled or bent.

Or can anyone recommend a company who would be able to supply a set?
I did look on ebay & I found a company a while back- but no joy this time

Thanks in advance

These are not T-Slots, these were the wheels put on TVR's before the T-Slots came in.

T-slots shown below (right)

Hey Alex, how's that glorious Taimar of yours (ex mine) ?? Has the snow melted yet in CH and you're out and about enjoying Spring !?

If the wheels your after are the Finned alloys on the Simitar then i have a spare set.

Hi Peter ! I'm experciencing some troubles with the Taimar ! (see topic http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... )
However i took the car out last week end, and it's being worked on-
First winter (???) snow was last night but it's already gone it seems !
allows me to have the car finished the way i want (mechanically, screen sealings, rear beige band painted, geometry, radio installed).
I have to have the work done in parallel with the Lotus Esprit Turbo i recently got so progress is slow.

You eventually kept your both set of wheels ?
I have slightly dismatched wheels (front/rear)
Front: "your" diamond cut T-slots are still there
Back: "polished" old-looking wheels (i guess that the 2 other diamond cut were damaged and replaced).
I have to sort this out too (disturbs me!) to make the car minty.

I replied on your "fumes" post...
Re wheels, yes those T-slots that I had went last year, I kept the Wolfraces. My guess is yours are still the originals, but because the alloys corrode under the lacquer you have probably had some corrosion in the past and two of them were sufficiently noticeable to have them stripped/polished. A cheap and cunning plan is to switch the wheels so you have 2 lacquered on one side and 2 polished on the other, make sure though that your tyres are not directional !

P.S.: those chrome rocker covers I fitted have survived well !

They're back on Ebay, but exchange only, so you'll need a ratty set to start with, £230 exchange for a set of 4, see http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/217-Exch-Refurbished-TVR-Vix...

Ebay ones, Nice.

Had the T slots on my 3000M, equally nice.

Vixen wheels will be 15", T-Slots from the M series 14"
