Could you help me out?

I'm a big fan of the original wheels found on the 4.5 Cerbera.

What size were these and who made them?

I believe they come in two sizes 17" and 18" or is it just 17"?

Cheers

17 and 18.
TVR dont supply them anymore. Quality was poor (porous, cracking etc)
I had some 18s and had two blow outs in a week on different tyres. Meant 4 new tyres and two 80 mph moments!

These were called the RL7, and they were made by Raceline. I spoke to the TVR factory recently as I was thinking of upgrading to these from 16"s, and they told me that Raceline no longer make them. Having said that they still seem to appear on a few websites.
I'm pretty sure there was an 18" version too, but I'm not sure what that was called.
