Thanks for that link Ant and the names of those alloys, had been looking for hours for that but as I wasn't sure what the wheels were it was taking me forever!

I actually went with what you guys are referring to as the Work Eurolines in the end, the closest I had found a match was the New Rayton Bahnsport Type D - I'm guessing that must be an alternate name as the images for both look identical even down to the logos! Also just found the Rays Victrix and SSR Viennas and they're the same too! I don't know which these are until they turn up!

I know the lip isn't as aggressive as I was after but this is good as now I know exactly which rims they are I'm going to get these on the car, see what I think, and then I can always upgrade to the larger dish at a later date

I think they are definitely going to make the car look much better than it does sat on the TTE wheels so thanks again for all the input and I'll get some pics up when I get the car and wheels back (she went in for a major service while I had surgery).

It's all sorted now but due to the snow here I can't get to the garage as it's in the middle of nowhere!

Hopefully should have it back in the next couple of days so fingers crossed we get some sun here for once!

Thanks for that - do you mean flat black as in basically same as the car looks or as in a matte non reflective type?

The wheels are already painted reflective black, I get them in a few days so I'll give them a clean and get some pics up

Have to admit they'd look amazing bigger but with the roads they are where I am they'd be buckled within days!

I think it's going to look quite funny, but it'll be better than it looks currently so it's good for now

Well I got the wheels installed today, car is filthy though due to the weather here so you can't really tell they're polished in these pics!

I've still got a lot of exterior work to do but waiting for the weather to clean up, going back to Toyota badging hence why it doesn't match at the minute!

Caps are missing and like I say the car is filthy due to driving on all the country roads but here's an idea:
