I thought you might have cut one off each wheel so could use them to level up all the posts on your lift hehe

when i weighed mine with R888 the 16 with 225/45 were a lot lighter than the 15 with 225/50, that 225/50/15 R888 was bloody heavy.

It's lighter to have 16s on the front with a 225/45.

My next wheels/tyres will be R888 225/45/16 front and 245/45/16 rear on TDs pro race

Cheers all of you I think I have decided to replace the estorils with these : http://www.maxpower.co.uk/article.asp?asset=5924 yes it is the Max Power website paperbag I wanted some original OZ's but none around. I think the Lenso wheels are not a bad copy of the OZ wheels and a good price, bonus is they are a bit lighter than the Estorils too. The wheels are 7.5 wide with offset of 25 fitting 245/45 16's rear and 225/50/16's front.

What do you reckon? I think they will look good on my Fly Yellow Griff with black centres just wish I could use photoshop to see them on the car before I buy hint hint wink all comments welcome!

Nitrons going on at the same time too, looking forward to finally driving a properly set up Griff!

Kingfisher blue I think I recognise it now, I had a mate that had a 220 "Tomcat" turbo that I am sure was painted that colour.

If your estorils are in good nick you should get around £600 for them.
Should sort out the new ones for you?
Those look like BBS copies, but then I reckon everyone likes them so a good choice.
tt to keep clean...

Can't confirm weights but the r888s are much stronger construction and will be heavier than a T1r
ALL TVR wheels are effin heavy...or bent!

Nah, I still keep an eye on them, and a good set still pulls £500 in a matter of days.

I had 2 sets that sold for £600 ea, both mint.

Not available and the rears are used for front upgrades with the 15s going to guys who've kerbed theirs.

AND THEY'RE ONLY GETTING RARER!

Amazing, but true.

I'll have any set going for £200...cash..now...and I'll come and get them!!!!! wink

Let me know if you are selling the Estorils. Could be interested.

(Although I suspect I may be at the back of a fairly lengthy queue!)
