Griff wheels

[The Bodyman]

Hi all. Can you still get griff wheels. I need two new front ones. I'v been told that they are no loner available. Has anybody replaced their of wheels with another make, if so do you have any pictures I can see?
Also how much and were did you get them.
Thanks

Not much help I know but a full set just sold on ebay with tyres for around £830. I thought you could still get the front griffith 500 wheels, it's the rears you can't get now.

Thanks smb. Will do a bit more ringing around tomorrow.

Had wheels replaced recently. Look on the thread New Wheels on me Griff look at 18th may posting 4-5 pictures, well pleased. Ive still got the original set but cant make my mind up wether to sell them or not, although I'm probably open to extortionate offers....

Have seen Graham wheels and can say they are the Bollox, and G500 i would keep hold of them old ones, stick them in an attic, they will be sought after in the near future and that extortionate will be outragously extortionate and will fund the early retirement pot

Well I know some of the last 100 Griffs had rears at the front i.e. what is refered to as the 500 wheel 7 spoke with a flush fitting centre cap, mind you I have also seen some of the last 100 fitted with what look like Oz Multi-spoke jobs, very retro! R...

I may take you up on that and store them. The amount of money my missus spent while we were away I may need as much help as I can get . Just got the Griff back today Nitrons in Perfect working order, cant wait to give it a good blast...

Graham, and most of what she spent was on international calls to you i hope they give the Griff a good wash for you as well, i cant belive the nose cone on my Griffith i reckon if you put all the road kill together on a barbie you would have a good feed.

Keep us updated on the shocks

It came back spotless they even polished it, thats what I call service.
Here I forgot, when they collected my car they got about 2 miles from their works and the clutch went. Apparently one of the pipes became dislodged and wore through, lucky it didnt happen on way back.

Bloody hell mate that was lucky, probably something to with the little off roading we had to do to get to our Tents.

Depends what pattern do you want? Griffs were sold with several different types: multispoke and 5-spoke on 4.x, 7-spoke on 500 and multispoke again on the SE.

Hi all
I have just got a new full set of 500 griff wheels off e-bay with so/2 on them all for £850.
I am replacing my old 500 wheels with these new wheels as they are in better condition than my original wheels.
I will be selling the old wheels shortly but they do need to be reconditioned as some of the silver paint is comming off.
Keep your eye's peeled in the classified section and e-bay.

Depending on the take-up of TVR's current spider wheel/upgraded brake package (£1399) by Griffith and Chimaera 500 owners there could soon be a surfeit of second hand OZ Estoril (7 spoke 500)wheels on the market in the near future IMO. If you've got a good set to sell - sell them now before the market's flooded! If you need a set bide your time!
