GRIFF 500 Alloys...are they the best looking ?

[JPHERSEY]

...whilst I don't like the look of after market alloys that much bacuase things can look a little MaxPower if you're not careful...I think the standard Alloys on a Griff 500 are a little dull. Any suggestions on subtle alternatives ?

TWS Fusion 17" See my profile, they are also fitted on Griffs.

Ah but RL7s are no longer available, which is why they are that little bit more exclusive ;-) Rich... ditto see profile

Hi All,

Have a 1997 Griff with the standard wheels, and was wondering what size wheels and tyres you run on the front and back of yours.

I assume all these mentioned have the right offset?
TWS Fusion
Raceline RL 7's
Kahn RSR

But since the standard wheels are 15" front, 16"rear, do you go 17" all round or keep that 1" difference?



What happens to the handling?

Cheers

J

J, take at quick scan through the search facility, there is loads of stuff on here about bigger wheels. I got asked so often about my wheels/tyres/offset etc. that I stuck a page on my web site www.greenbear.org.uk take a look and get back to me off-line if you want more. Cheers Rich...

Aren't thet TSW Fusion wheels not TWS, sorry not being picky but if some poor sods doing a web search they'd be buggered.

Call me old fashioned but I think the 500 alloys are excellent and suited the car completely. It would have to be a great set of very carefully chosen wheels to make me "mod" a TVR like that.

Having said that the guys here have done exactly that and they look great so it can be done. Brave decision though...

Fit the Classic 7 spoke 16" Griff wheel all round.
Very discreet.
So discreet-in fact- that 9 out of 10 Tiv Drivers fail to notice
