Not a Griff or Dark Blue but you get the idea...

Dull dull dull !

Don't be a sheep !

Contrasting shiny ones look best and won't go out of fashion.

there you go...all a matter of personal taste but I for one much prefer this look (which is reflected inside too as its dark leather & black dials) rather than the stick-bright-metal-everywhere-you-can look. vive la difference etc...

and a bit closer...for the hard of hearing

Here's mine, Moonraker Black wheels to match car....



And a close up....

Fair enough on the dull comment, everyone has their own opinion. Don't understand the sheep one, their can only be a handful of Griffs with dark wheels

It's just a general trend...like silver cars was, and now white.

I just hate to see TVR owners not living up to the 'rebel' or 'dare to be different' image I guess.

Besides which, as a grumpy old man I don't need much of an excuse to have a good moan.

when i was loking for my Grif i went to see a dark blue one who had the estoril wheels painted in black.
check "Lid" 's profile, i guess he does not have the car anymore but it is still in his profile, and maybe u can ask him pics...

I want to see this as it's something I'm planning on doing. Can you be more specific about the 'Lid' as a members directory search doesn't seem to bring up the goods...

I have my original oz split rims that will super shiny when they come back from a refurbish. I just fancy a change and put some black ones on. I can then switch and swap at my whim....

Ok...you're forgiven.

I did have the original anthracite spiders on when I bought the Sag in 2008. But I changed them to poloshed silver Jade R 19" alloys, Ive got some older pics of the car - try and dig em out

Car is Black

Unfortunately, the profile pic isn't really giving much away...

Might just have to take the plunge.
