apache said: Hi Mike, yeah mine are 17" all round and Richb's are 17"/18" front/rear, you can't get them know so I watch out for pot holes
I bought a set of 18s from Streber motorsport about 18 months ago, i know that recently he could still supply them, these were Raceline, apparently Speedline are easy to get hold of, is there a big difference ??

One more thing to worry about eh? Oh and Tim I took it for a nice blast this morning, certainly lights up at the top end now! Rich...
Hi Richard
I've been looking at the weather and wondering about this, did you read about Gerjos first blat ?
I need some of these wheels (RichB/Apache type) i think on a Griffith they're about as good as it gets !!

Speedline wheels are different....
the story goes that raceline were bought by speedline ( well its italian parent anyway).
RL7's were made in the uk, but all production was alledgedly moved to italy where they had loads of problems... dies not fitting machines, made new dies and got hot spot in the wheels then a strike at the factory
i needed new tryes so i gave up and they gave be a good deal on the 2120's
2120's look like
they do an 9 spoke that looks similar to the rl7 but in magnesium and only 16 inch
the rl7 looks like
i found the last link at www.silverline-raceline.co.uk/frm/index.htm
so maybe start there.
if i remember i promise to get a picy of the chim by the weekend..

yep cos thats what the chim's got...
one interesting thing the 2120's are flow formed what ever that means it apparently makes them stronger and lighter and they are quite a bit lighter then the griff 500 wheels i took off, and thats with tyres on...
(17's all round)

lets see a piccy then Graham
Hi Matthew, we have fitted two or three sets of Raceline 17" alloys to Griffs and Chimaera's now and I think we have some sets left as we bought up the remaining alloys from Raceline before they finished. What was Raceline are now simply distributors for Speedline wheels which we can obtain readily. Hope this helps, regards, Tony.
