I'm getting a bit bored of the Spiders and I think I want to change to 19" and something different.

I don't want to change to the Team Dynamics Jade-R, as it seems the most common choice and I'm personally not that fond of them.

Does anyone have any photos of their own or others Tuscans with different 19" wheels on them for ideas?

Also, I came across this photo:



These are 19" Trafficstar RTS, what are your opinions?

Another photo of them on a noble:




I managed to get in contact with a guy from a company called VAD, who said that Trafficstar went bust so these wheels are no longer available, but strangely / luckily enough he claims he was there when these wheels were fitted to the Tuscan at TVR Power! He knew all the offsets and tyre sizes etc. He also claims he could manufacture an exact replica of these wheels but would be stronger. Even though he said the price for this would be roughly the same as buying the real ones brand new, it was still a bit steep for me.

Probably a bit of a daft question but does anyone know what happened to these wheels?

I do like the look of these, what does anyone else think? Was just an idea but I would like to see what other wheel set ups other people have on the Tuscan, preferably the 1st Gen.

Much appreciated
Michael

In the photo above it looks like the tyres aren't big enough for the rims - which imo results in giving that exaggerated look that you see in cartoon car pictures sometimes: http://www.supercars.net/gallery/132868/861/391309...

But what really matters is if you like it - go for it! =)

Not really helpful, but are you a drug dealer? IMHO those rims only belong on a blacked out m3. Not a Trevor!

Just saying and no offence intended! biggrin

If you're after honest opinions, I think they look ridiculous.

If not, don't read this post. smile

Only one person's opinion counts of course, and that's yours. For what it's worth, I think those wheels are truly nauseating. Spiders all the way.
