2.5 Rear Wheel

[obes]

Is this an AZEV type E wheel ? ..... (Spot the huge un-repairable dent!! hence the question!)

No that is the TSW wheel

cheers mate, glad I didn't order an Azev !!

It isn't a TSW wheel either, it used a TSW centre cap but is made in SA for Noble.

Sorry if I was wrong l thought it was a TSW wheel , best contact the factory.

The Factory is out of stock at the mo. I thought i'd see if I could find one elsewhere, but I guess I'll just have to wait!

Try the dealers they may have some in stock. Mole V used to have a few "laying" around.

IIRC didn't Gatwick TVR ([e-mail]) have an add up a bit back listing ex dealer Noble parts for sale. Got to be worth a quick call to see if they have a spare wheel.

Justin, I think Andy G. knicked all those.

[joust]

Nah - he had 4 out of 7 from memory.

Thanks guys, tried both - no luck though ... I must try and stay on the tarmac in future and I won't have this problem !!

Own,

AG/moi did do a bit of digging about alternative wheels but we sort of dropped it between us as he got a second bargain set and I've not felt the need for another set of rims.

How long for the factory to get some more in? If you want I can dig out the companies we spoke to, but AG's away this week so may have to wait until the weekend / next week.

I've had a look around myself mate. Fronts at 8.5 x 18 are easy but there's nowhere near as much choice when you get to the 10" rears. I can't find any I like as much as the Noble ones anyway !

The factory have had them on order for 'some time' but hoped to have them in 3/4 weeks. That was towards the end of Feb though so they might have some soon.

They're a tad pricey though, I'll have to get another job to pay for one !!!

Thanks for the offer mate, I'll wait for the factory.

Compomotive will make a set for you:

£290+Vat fronts
£335+Vat rears

They said they'd give a 15% discount as well

I was looking at doign this but managed to cobble together a second set of Noble wheels.

Haven't got a clue what they look like though.

Does anyone know what the dimentions of the stud pattern and offset are? (No guessing!) M.

Spoke with Charles at MV the other day about the Rollcentre GT car and he mentioned that they are looking to get some "track" wheels done in a batch which they might offer to other people as well. They may not look great but should be reasonable cheap (around £350 or so).

I am thinking of getting one set together with some semi-slicks for track days - the cost of the whole set would be offset by damaging two normal road wheels.

Funny enough Nathan I was sitting opposite Charles when you had that conversation!

It isn't sure if Shorty has converted the wheels to single spline for the GT - still we'll find out on the 4th

J

[m12_nathan]

I'm not NobleM12 but had exactly the same conversion with Charles - he said you were sat with him.

I'm pretty sure the GT car will have been converted to a single nut for quick wheel changes but as you say we'll find out on the 4th!

Oppss - sorry Nathan - Charles didn't say who was on the "other end"

I told him to say hello from me...
