Hi guys,
I’m looking for a set of aftermarket alloys for a Mk1 Tuscan S, anyone got any stashed away?

I have a set of these rota wheels on my mk1. they made a big difference to handling/feel due to lighter weight and better offsets. (look a lot better in the flesh as well).

Wheels along with the car are long gone but I can second the comments on the Rota wheels. I had the Rota torques on mine and the benefits from the reduction in un-sprung weight on ride quality and bump absorption were noticeable. Plus they look good and are a pleasant change from the standard spider look.

You don’t happen to have any info on these? The offsets etc

How do these effect the handling and feel of the car?

Car handles and rides great might be down to the 3 way Nitrons more than the wheels though

Power's 19's in Silver


Went from 16 inch spiders to 18 inch spiders, then to the 19's.

All with Nitrons already fitted, which makes the car feel planted moreso that std setup.

My old Sag on the first page, Rota Torques were the ones I had strong and light. Yours look to be the same design Jasper.
