Griff Wheels

[a1butch]

Hi people.

I'm looking for a set of Griff Estorils to replace my current factory Chim wheels. Apart from Fleebay, does anybody know where I could source a set?
Assuming 15/16 front/rear are there any modifications to make for fitting or do they simply slot in seamlessly?

I'm trying here first on the slim chance somebody might pick up the thread with Estorils to part with

There is a set on the classifieds & there is usualy a set on ebay every now and again.

They tend to be expensive from breakers, I was quoted £225 + VAT each for 16" rims.
PS I've a pair of brand new 15"

£250 each for rears and £175 each for fronts. I didn't hang on the line to bother if they were inc VAT or not!

I'm just having mine refurbed at £295/wheel.... thats the same cost

In that case there off the market.. I'm getting a 2001 Facelift Chim on Friday, are the hubs/brakes the same as old Chims/Griffs ???... If so I think I'll go down from 16" to 15" on the front...and fit the Split Rims for summer...

The Chim wheels fit the Griff and obviously vice versa. :

Ah, done the deal?
Yes the hubs are the same all the way through unless the car has had a 5 stud conversion

I know (besides the tyre size issue)people used to put 16" on the front in order to fit larger calipers/discs or 4 pots... Thats why I wasn't sure about the The Facelift Chims.. We'll see...
