.....would look like on a Griff? They're on a lotus in the current evo mag. I reckon they'd look pretty good myself, but it's hard to picture it. Would they fit? I notice they are 4 stud as well.

I like them but I bet they have a different PCD. They are 16"F and 17"R which seems an ideal size to me but the fronts are very narrow so no good for TVRs unfortunately.

I wonder what they're called, and if they are a Lotus specific wheel?

They're a forged wheel exclusive to Lotus. The offset, PCD and load rating don't suit a TVR and you can only buy them from a Lotus dealer, for a tidy sum no doubt. Nice design though! There might be an aftermarket style similar but be careful about getting the right fitment... i.e. don't necessarily believe a generic wheel supplier if they tell you "they fit fine" - they may bolt on and you can drive the car but not many wheel suppliers have a good understanding of the impact of alternative wheels on TVRs.

There's a lot to this wheel business, isn't there? I think they're £1300.
