Original Griffith Wheels

[K67 KRB]

Hi All,

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a set of Camille Gotti Wheels.

Excellent Condition second hand or new, I don't mind.

Cheers,

Martin

rarer than a very rare thing that's become rare.

Much sought after, best bet is to drop a wanted advert in the classifieds on here or contact dealers, scrappers who might be breaking a write off or contact makers (like Leven) of Griffith replacement wheels who may have px the original wheels for new.

Hmm, bugger

Anyone got ideas for wheel replacements for my 4.3 Griff, that dosen't involve upgrading to 17"-18" wheels.

Piccies would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Martin

I'm sure thinking about it that there were some other cars using them (or similar) can't remember what though. It's the same for all Griffith wheels though, even the later 7 spoke alloys.

Maybe try Rimstock for a similar pattern?

why not go for the TVR 16" spiders and brake upgrade that have been advertised?

Isn't the coversion your talking about for 17inch Spyders....

16" bit in Sprint this month about it.

While we are on the subject of the spiders I have buggered one of my 18" fronts up how much is it goinig to be to get a new one?

Ahh, got that wrong, it is 16".

Anyway, I'm not a big fan of the spiders, and its a lot of money to pay out, when all I want is a new set of wheels

Spiders are 16 inch, mine was the first customer Griff to have the factory mod.. to be honest the kit is good valuse for money.

hear what you are saying, but with the new bearings/discs/pads/hoses/tyres etc...it is a serious bargain.

Might have a set of Estorils going spare as that spider/brake upgrade looks tempting

I believe that I read somewhere that early 90's MR2s used the same Camille Gotti rims. Try a scrapyard - they're not expensive to have refurbished either - £25 each in my case - polished rim/lacquered spokes.

You'll probably find it easier to get a good secondhand set of 7-spoke Estorils in future due to the wheel/brake upgrade package take-up.

This site is excellent:

There are a set of Gottis for sale on ebay right now, one of which is damaged tho.

Speak to Castlesport 01342 844077
They can supply a meaty 5 spoke which looks similar (ish) to the Camille Gotti.
