These seem cheap

Compared to recent prices...

400SE Wheels on ebay

I'm tempted to buy a spare set, but 'technic' tyres appear to be retreads.

That would reduce the overall value somewhat.

Weights fitted on the outside as well

It's a starting price .. not buy it now !

[grahamw48]

Came across these through a search:

....couldn't resist the temptation to point him in the right direction, but wonder if they are indeed a TVR pcd.

Maybe someone can rescue the poor things, if they are.

One guy on the Jap forum mentioned to strip them and paint them gold! - rice burning ass holes. IMHO of course!

Yes but at £329.99 I don't think that he expects a second bid.

They are the most common pcd used by TVR (and most of the motor industry until the seventies.) It's sad that such a british car uses the 112 german pcd of the granny. TVR quickly reverted back to a 3" square for the Griff and then 4.5" again (114.3mm) for the Cerbera and the T chassis (114.3mm) For some reason many Jap cars also have this 4.5" PCD.

Thanks JR.
You obviously know your pcds

So the Wedges all use the 112 pcd then...

Am I right in assuming that Wedgers use some sort of adapter when fitting 16"
OZs ?...or maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick.

I like the proportions of the 16s on the Wedge body.

I tried last year to master drifting (to learn more about the beast not to become a drift freak). It was a full day of fun. Wedges are not setup for this (probably you can but I like my current setup for fast road and track) and you either go very fast without drifting, in circles or keeping it in a drift is very very difficult. Even the masters at drifting that were their to show/train us found it difficult with the wedge. Was at least helping me to an excuse for being all over the place all the time. But good fun and you learn a lot about the unpredictable wedge behavior.
Uhmm, a bit of topic sorry.

Er, just to keep it off topic... ...could it be to do with the Tivs having a comparatively short wheelbase, with little overhang at the rear, so lessening the pendulum effect, also being light weight overall...LSD ?

I'm probably talking bks.

No 16's fit straight on with no adapters

[rev-erend]

Mine are a bit tight on the rear with 245 tyres.

[grahamw48]

Show-off !

[red tasmin]

Still don't know what pcd is!!!!

[grahamw48]

Pitch circle diameter

[red tasmin]

and what does the measurement relate to?

It tells you how far apart the holes are
