Would anyone have or know of a single 7.0jx15" ET25 OZ 8 Spoke Alloy available/for sale.

I have a set with one wheel beyond repair unfortunately, hence the request.

Thanks.

I'm not trying to make you feel miserable, but you just missed a fairly good one on Ebay for 50 quid, see https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/tvr-s-3-alloy-wheel-/12... Keep looking, they come up occasionally individually (like that one) or in sets. If you find a straight but corroded one don't pass-up the opportunity, just invest in lots of progressively finer grades of wet & dry and decent metal polish, I did mine over the winter and saved my self the £400+ refurb cost for the set at my local specialist.

The eBay listing suggests that the seller may have more (3 plus a buckled one). Might be worth trying to contact them to see if they have any left - just a thought.

There are breakers too such as TVR Glen in Northumberland who advertises on eBay and Pistonheads fairly regularly. Again, you never know, he might have one tucked away somewhere.

Thanks and already done but no luck. TVR Glen hasn't had or seen an 8 Spoke for a good while and breakers are getting thin on the ground due to the buoyant classic car market.

R.T. Racing in Sheffield managed to replace one of mine at the beginning of this year.
Couldn't tell you the cost though as third party's insurance was footing the bill.
Maybe worth giving Richard a call, guess it depends just how much you want/need one.

HTH,
Carl.
