17 Inch Alloys on a Griffith 500?

[archie1]

Do you think they suit the car?

Doesn't that kinda depend which ones you're thinking about?

TMS have a fab looking Griffith 500 with big 17" alloys on their used section on their website.

Try AWI (Alloy Wheels International) Autotec in Rochester in Kent, they manufacture loads of wheels for all the big manufacturers and I'm pretty sure but not 100% that includes TVR.

From Peninsula web site: "New wheels include the latest Cerbera items from Raceline to fit Griffith/Chimaera in 16, 17 and 18 inch diameters. A choice of colours is also available."

As an aside: What about the handling - is the suspension up to it? I'm just surprised TVR haven't done this with the last 100 (although I see the fronts are 16 inch now).

The ones on the TMS site have grooved and drilled discs on them and look superb.

I've been thinking of doing the same thing, so I'd be very interested in full details from anyone who's done this.

Make, size and supplier of both wheels and tyres. Also feedback on performance.

I have 4 stud Raceline 17" all round (see profile) and use Toyo 215/40 front and 245/40 rear, don't know why you need to seek out odd profiles. Spacers x 2 on fronts. Handling is fine with these tyres as they are very pliant and I have no probs with tramlining or harshness in ride, grip is amazing. I feel they give the Griff a new lease of life lookswise
