speed 12 wheels

[tuscandom]

hi all,are the speed 12 wheels stronger than the standard tvr spiders,
do they make 19" speed 12 wheels,anyone know how much,cheers

I assume you mean Silverstone Performance SP12s? Speed 12 wheels might be a bit expensive.

I've had my SP12s for almost two years on South Yorkshires bumpy raods and they are all still round. Makes them stronger in my book. I replaced three spiders in the first two years.

SP12s are quite cheap if you buy them from the manufacturer - am sure they probably do 19s.

how do they compare to the spiders,is there any change or improvement of driving charachteristics (spelt that wrong)i.e. handling ,tramlining and so on,what size is best(purely for performance not looks)17",18",19" etc

Changed from Spiders to SP12's (18&quot last summer for a number of reasons, cosmetic and handling among them. Not only does the car look stunning with them (I have racing silver on a Moonraker Black Cerbera), but the car is much more solid on the road, it doesn't skip around anymore and I have much more steering lock too!

More effort required to clean them though, but I'm not complaining .

Shall I post a picture?

SP12 wheels on my T350R racer. Stronger and lighter than spiders. I tend to use a lot of kerb on the race tracks and the SP12s have stood up to the job well. The front spiders on my cerb however are no longer round!

Those SP wheels do Cerbs - or any TVR - very good:

I thought that they were only available from Silverstone - unless you want the inferior, (weaker, wrong centrebore etc.) base version, but then it wouldn't be a SP12.

They are the same wheel but with some Silverstone requested changes post manufacture - as I understand it silverstone get the rim edge machined to remove the wording. They arent weaker. Do you tink Silverstone have commissioned their own wheels? That would cost a fortune that wouldnt be a sound move for anyone but a car manufacturer.

As I recollect Silverstone have stated on here that they have done a great deal more than you suggest, including the use of a stronger alloy etc.

I have no connection with Silverstone and am not going to spend an age searching but credit where it's due...
