looking to get some new rims.
i have stock 16 inch ones just now
will 18\'s (rx8 or tvr) ruin the handeling?
i can see tvr wheels in 16" too but cant see any 17" wheels i like.
how bad would 17\'s or 18\'s be for the road / track?

I have RX8 wheels on mine.

The ride is fine, handles well except they are narrower than standard 16" ones so can be easier to light up. Had mine on around the Ring and they felt steady enough though.

mmm just found out the rx8 wheel is 7kg more than the rx7 wheel.
mayby not bother with those then

Hiya-
 Mine had 18s when I bought it, when I put 17s on it I noticed a significant improvement with ride and handling...
 I\'ve got some 17 inch Konig Split Rims for sale! :)

yeah i think 17,s are my limit but id prefer 16,s,
got pics and price of your rims?

They are if very good condition, with some minor bubbling, but only when you look closely.
 The rim shines up like chrome when its clean, and all the centre caps are there too. 8s and 9s wide, the front tyres have plenty of tread, and are Yokos, and the rears are Dunlops with 100miles on them, 235/45 all round.
 
I\'d prefer to sell the rims only, since I\'d lose so much on the rear tyres which i\'ve recently put on them-

I thought TVR alloys have different PCD\'s or was it porsche, I do get confused. Its age you know.
