I suspect the price point and fact they appear to specialise in mostly replicas will mean people will say they aren't worth bothering about. And anyone that has bought them will say "yeah they're great" regardless.

I like them, they make some good looking wheels.

Nice wheels but if you change your wheels be more individual I think. People that have the original tvr spiders say they are prone to buckling, can't see these being any different with the same spoke design.
Best examples of strong wheels are the proper motorsport type and usually a chunky 5 spoke design or 6 spokes as the diameter gets bigger.
If I were to choose a bola design it would be the 5 spoke b10. 18's front and rear with stretched tyres for maximum in yer face look at my wheels! or the slightly smaller 17's for the nice hey I've got new wheels comment

Spider copies. B7





B10 would these suit the Chimaera?

I'll be getting a set for my next Chim - just need to work out the right wheel/tyre combo.

Yep! a staggered set, 17's on the front 18's on the rear. 215 40 r17 front tyres on 7.5j and 235 40 r18 rear tyres on 8.5j width

[SILICONEKID345HP]

Can both the b7 and b10 be photo shopped

[RobXjcoupe]

These look rather nice too

[RobXjcoupe]

Found these, 8jx18 et33 I think. Price is for 4 wheels.
Proper racelines! Can't beat real motorsport wheels

I think 8 j on the front might be to wide .

Nah if they done these in the right sizes and staggered offsets front to rear I would have them in a heart beat

[SILICONEKID345HP]

How does this staggered wheel thing work ?

I stand to be corrected but I think it just means that front and rears aren't identical.
Like early Chimaeras.

I have no experience of the wheels, but the website is a bit odd. UK based company, but no contact details apart from an email address?

All those Bolas are cheap knockoffs of original wheels (raceline, compomotive etc).

[Belle427]

I'm not a fan of those B10's, the spokes are far too big and look odd.
Those race lines are my favourite wheel, they look great.

Some owners have the original tvr spiders on the fronts of Griffs and chim and they are 8.5j wide.

Not everyone has an unlimited bank balance, compromise is sometimes the way forward.
