Not sure if everyone knows, but tvrBob has 8 new wheels and 4 old wheels and no tyres, suggested uses so far:

* Wall mounted clock (so long as hands are extended past alloy)
* Legs for coffee table
* Line marker for painting/seeding
* Wheels for use on railway line
* Weld 3 together to make a stool
* "Pooh wheels" (roll them down the hill to see which gets to the bottom first)
* Rolette wheel
* new Olympic throwing competition (throw the alloy)
* teaching people about "Mammy Wheels and Daddy wheels get together in Bob's garage and um, well, make baby wheels".
* House Roundabout
* Pulley system
* Making a wide wheeled car (double rear wheels)
* To place on the ground and teach new drivers the importance of an imagination
* Donate to someone who desires to own a TVR, albeit in bits.
* a poor sledge
* tie a rope round them and make a running wieght to drag around
* "dumb bells"
* obstacle to fall over at the bottom of the stairs
* Drive into the garage, make a loud crashing noise and rolling them out of the garage to confuse the neighbours.
* Take the tyre shod wheels of someones car and replace with your alloys.
* Make a statue for your garden
* Make a big door bell clanger
* Play "conkers"

Hmm, I'm sure I can think of more

You forgot the strawberry planter

How about

> Stepping stones for the garden

> Add a plank of wood and make a seesaw

> Two wheels and a plank of wood makes a garden seat

What's the score with these wheels? Are they 5-bolt fixing or some noncy 4-bolt things that wouldn't fit a Wedge?

I've got a set of original 4 stud to dispose of and I'm getting two sets of 5 stud 16 x 7.5 TVR Spiders. New flanges, brakes, half shafts, etc. I was going to get one set in anthracite and one set in silver though I haven't specified the colours yet. I really don't need two sets but they come as part of the deal I've struck. If you're interested in a set of new spiders on the cheap then give me a shout.

That's it, order placed, if anyone has a use for my old 4 stud 15" & 16" let me know. If anyone would like a set of brand new 5 stud 16" 7.5 spiders then call quick, they'll be going on PH classifieds & eBay once I have them.

Bob's spiders have found a new home. Thanks Byff for posting in the Cerbera forum.

Now what should I do with those 4 stud wheels?
