I am looking for a NEW front 18” spider alloy wheel that fits a Tuscan mk1, which I believe has an offset of 42mm.

The old TVR parts and other Service centres tell me that they are no longer made and available. Does anyone know where I could still obtain a new wheel?

I’m just put off by some of the horrors stories you hear about the quality of any repairs to existing wheels, so I would prefer new if possible. An alternative is not a option for me as I would like to keep the car looking stock.

Hello,

The TVR Parts Shop ACS pro in Germany still has a stock of original new 18" Spider wheels.

Available are:
offset ET42 silver, anthrazite, dark anthrazite.
offset ET33 silver, dark anthrazite

Also available are new 15" ESTORIL rims.

Unfortunately ACS pro had to stop all shipments from/to Great Britain for a while, because of all the problems and difficulties caused by the BREXIT.

But shipments to any other countries in Europe than Great Britain are no problem at all. As an alternative wheels can be picked up at ACS pro. ACS pro is located near Frankfurt/Main Germany.

Contact details:
Phone +49 6081 58 21 98 0

You’d think virtually anything could be CNC machined from a billet these days.

The Bola B7 is a bob on replica, and higher quality than the originals too. Available in various colours, offsets and bolt holes to suit. Might be worth considering for an all round upgrade?

Sorry I was thinking of the Chim/Griff PCD. 18” isn’t available for them.

Thanks for all your replies and suggestions.

It would appear that there is stock of new spider available, however getting them shipped to the UK by parcel services has been problematic since BREXIT and therefor currently not available to us.

Riddochg, I’ll drop you a PM to see if yours is any better than the one I have fitted.
