Thumbs up TVR Spider Alloy Wheels

As wheels go, the TVR spider wheels are some of my favourites.
I've been wondering if they come in a size that'd fit the S.

If one got some from & fitted them to the S, would you be accused of driving a TVR-wannabe?

Would they even look that good?

Someone here must have a friend with a TVR who'll let them try their wheels?

Any pics? Are they similar to the ones on the Tuscan (which are REALLY nice)?

Very tasty those

Are they 18's or 19's? I can't remember.

I think they would look very swish pal.

U need ET55 & ET65 offsets, ideally.

Approx 7-8 and 8-9 widths.

114.5 5 stud pattern.

Remember the spigot sizes are different front-rear.

I would almost guarantee they won't fit the S2000. Very few wheels do.

me too (Neil.H) , I've tried googling for offset info with no luck.

Also, all of the model offsets may be different and the wheels are made for all of them as far as I know (or people put them on all models).

I'm not really in the market for new wheels just yet, but if I was, I'd like to know if these are an option.

Might be worth posting the query on PistonHeads, Rickos - that seems to be the spiritual internet home of a lot of Trevor drivers so chances are someone there will know the answer.

I'll go and ask in the car park, seems to be about 6 in there at the moment.

Tamora, Cerbera, T350 and Chiamera variants !!

LL, over there, noo, I can see it now: they'd look down over their half-moon glasses at me, tug their beards and bonk me on the top the the forehead with the base of their pipes before laughing at me.
