Alloy wheels..

[SeiW500]

I like dark wheels on a light car, especially like the shiny rims with dark centres.

Cor blimey,
Stunning.
That's possibly the best looking Tvr I've ever seen.

I like Tvr in solid colours, can't see if this is a solid colour but I'm liking it lots.
Some Chims have the flailed in headlights they don't look like that though do they.
Proper car. Those wheels seem a great match. It's all very tasteful.

Many thanks, much apreciated

I think it's a Toyota white, it's slightly pearlescent, looks fantastic in the sun.

Hi,
Those wheels look lovely and I have just ordered some silver ones for my Chimaera (is that a swear word?).
I assume you have 16" front and 17" rear and if so please can enquire what tyre sizes you chose?
Thank you, Chris.

Hi Chris

Apologies for just seeing the message, abroad at the moment and just logged on.

That's the one, 16s on the front and 17s on the rear. From looking back through my emails to the company who I purchased them from, the fronts are- 205/50/16inch, and the rears are 235/45/17inch

Hi James.

Thank you for the reply.
Those sizes seem a popular choice for a Griff, I have seen a couple of others too.
My Chimaera has factory fitted 225/50 x15 fronts and 245/45x16 rears and I am debating tyre sizes on the new wheels, which incidentally arrived yesterday. It was a bit like Christmas!

There seems to be plenty of clearance around the wheels on my car, it is running standard suspension and I can't ever see myself lowering it to be honest. Front tyre choice will be 225/45x16 and the rears I am very tempted to fit 255/40x17. This gives a rolling radius much closer to the original 225/50x16 most cars were fitted with.

Some say at will work, others say the tyres will catch. I guess there is only one way to find out.....

Regards Chris.
