I was told that they were to become a cost option?? Heard that from a dealer.

Those wheels as seen on the black Sagaris at the ride drive will not be offered by TVR. This was confirmed yesterday when I spoke to the factory.

The wheels on the factory demo were going to be a cost option but the people that developed them, Rimstock I think, had already sold the patent to an after market wheel company. So TVR did not want some Chaved up Nova sporting the same wheels as a Sagaris.
They are designing a new wheel as we spaek but as to when it will be available they say it will be sooner rather than later.

Hi,
Have a look at the Oxigin Lexor, it's a very nice 3pc design.
Looks close to the one on the black proto
but with a real stainless steel lip.
Very exclusive and nice.

I don't see the problem. Just get some aftermarket wheels. How can tvr find one set of wheels that everyone likes? It might cost you a couple of grand but then you'll have a unique looking car (unless someone else shares your excellent taste!)

Those oxygin wheels do look really nice to me too. My only thought is to go for an identical size and similar weight to the spiders as tvr have spent a lot of time setting up the car (apparently very well) on those wheels.

Personally anthracite spiders do it for me so I'm happy enough.

that's the nice thing about these Oxigin's , they can be painted as requested.
size wise they can be made to the same sizes as the originals or for example one size bigger but with same offset en width.
