Hello,

Does anyone know if there are aftermarket wheels in 15 or 16 inch available for the TR7?

Or - if there are adapters available?

Thanks for any input.

Anything off the Mgf range probably the cheapest route second hand

Yes - I posted a good long thread yesterday on this about MGF wheels - but it seems to have disppeared into the ether! Basically - they fit, early versions 15", later cars 16" - and they tend to be cheap because they really don't fit much else! I would say 16" look too much on the TR7 - the 15" are just right. Although my own car has 14" Wolfrace classics - and I think they look just great!

There's also Superlite in Gloucester - same style as minilites. They have pretty much any size you want and can make split rims if you wish. They can also choose (or used to be able to!) a range of alloy's from which the wheels are made.

And Revolution and Compomotive also can supply wheels that fit the TR7 range.

Thank you all for the info. I had thought that there would be nothing available (besides custom made) and because of the odd bolt circle.

Cheers!
