...anyone know how much they'd set you back? And where to get them (apart from TVR)? Or, is it possible to have the graphite coating applied to existing wheels?

New wheels from a TVR dealer are now close to £200 each. Not sure of alternate source.

Hope this helps.

I've just had my spider alloys powder coated. Looks great and only cost £180.

Oops, when I said "graphite", what I think I should've said is "anthracite". You know, the dark version of the standard T350 alloys.

Anyone?

If you are looking to change your current spider alloys for a darker set, go to a powder coat specialist it's far cheaper. At the end of the day you choose the colour, it will cost £25 to have your tyres removed and refitted. The powder coater will shot blast and dress you alloys, and you have them back in a week, cost around £200. Or spend up to £1000 for a set of new TVR alloys.
