17x8.5 OZ Futuras - which TVR did they come off ??!!!

[Ambisonik]

I have recently acquired a set of OZ Futura 3 piece split rims 8.5x17 ET13 PCD 5x112 with a centre bore of 65.1mm.

i have been informed they came from a TVR - does anyone have the slightest idea which TVR('s) these wheels will fit ?

Have you got a picture or have you looked at the LT pics to see if you can see them?

The name doesn't ring a bell with me but if you had a picture that would perhaps help.

I don't remember them being original factory fit or seeing them before - sorry

Might fit a Cerb or a Tuscan

I'm pretty sure some big wedges used these...

they did use similar ones

[xjsjohn]

looks like its on a Bimmer now, so i guess anything that has the same stud pattern ...

trying to do my Peter Falk best there .....

All of the SEAC's had a rather nice chunk of tyre on them, so i doubt they would be fitted with LP's to a SEAC.

I don't think they are TVR wheels IMO, qoute me wrong!

Thanks for the replies guys !
you find these wheels on quite a few cars as the're availble in a few different sizes & fitments..for example the Lotus Esprit S4s & V8 had these as an optional extra from 1995-98.
the picture on the BMW was for recogition purposes only & not the actual wheel BTW

These were used on the lotus.... I bought a key set from the lotus for these wheels thinking it would be common to to the OZ split rimms on the griff but alas

Looks like it very well may have been - i found out today they definitely came off a Wedge TVR..all i've got to do now is find out which one !

The big Wedges did use a similar wheel but not quite the same. Being 112 PCD the only TVRs that would be contenders are the Wedge cars. The biggest dia fitted to a Wedge was 16" and these are 17". It follows that the wheels are not from a TVR.

The 400SE with the plate TVR 75X might be wearing the same polished wheels?

edited to add - or maybe not per the post above!

Agreed it looks like these are aftermarket,or an option..they were on a TVR Wedge until very recently though..
