I am interested in owning a 3000m or Taimar one day and I was wondering if there are different widths of wolfrace wheels. Some wheels look wider than others. Maybe because they are polished and others not. Other question is if they are Always 14"?

If you find a Taimar or 3000M for sale and buy it you will not be able to choose what wheels have been fitted;)

I don't know what was "standard" or whether TVR used different sizes (Turbo ?) but back in the day Wolrace had a huge range of wheels.............

The wheel nuts from the Scimmy are no good though as the Scimmy has 1/2" studs and the TVR has 7/16" frown

Yes it's the threaded hole in wheel nut that is the different size.

Image wheels make a nice slot mag, sizes up to 20” dia and 16j wide.
You choose your dimensions and they can make to order if you can’t find originals.

Probably finish up around £500 a corner.

They do a nice replica of the wheel that was fitted to the M series SEs. If you want them in 6 months time, best order now...

Expensive I agree but if certain unavailable sizes are required in that classic style it’s do able smile

I have some 15" Revo replicas from Image if you didn't fancy waiting 6 months...






They need a good polish now, no rim damage, and they wouldn't be "that" expensive smile

Ive got the cast rm2’s on my Griff and just like your 4 spokes they do look good.
I mentioned the slot mags purely as that was the style the op was asking about wink
