There's a thread here on the Chim forum which I'd replied to - copied and pasted below...
I've just fitted standard 15"/16" sized Lenso BSX to my Griff.
I bought them through Wheelbase in Oldham. They ordered the wheels in specially from Lenso with my requested offsets - they'll machine the offset and pcd free of charge at Lenso - so I have 7x15 et25 and 7.5x16 et35 exactly the same as the factory wheels.
I've read wheel nuts can be a problem as stock TVR nuts need to be cut down to get the BSX centre caps on over them - not the case here as Wheelbase supply a set of shorter bolts with the wheels, plus the right Ford spigot rings.
They built the wheels up with new Toyos, all completely unmarked. I'd recommend them - maybe not the cheapest but great service.
Self adhesive domed resin TVR 70mm centre badges from ebay here fit perfectly.
Only downside is the centre caps are plastic - Calibre Vintage are proper ally - but the Calibres weren't available in the sizes I wanted.

Hi,

Thanks very much for your post, those wheels look spot on,

Would you be able to give an idea of the costs?

Thanks

Cheaper than split rims! I think from memory no more than £150 a corner, probably less. Calibre and Dare are also worth a look if you are going larger, I picked the Lenso because they can do the same sizes, offsets etc as the original OZ wheels.
