Anyone have any tips for converting from wire wheels to alloys for the Griffith 200 & other early TVR's?

Thanks folks! Sounds like it's pretty well standard procedure, similar to many other British Cars. I'll try to post some pics when all is done.

Also, even though the Minilites became available the same year as the Griff 200, they were originally only manufactured in 10", and not available as spline drive conversions until much later (late 80s?). So, not really period correct. Still, Borrani, Rudge, Dunlop, and others made gorgeous spline drive wheels, in period, and Halibrand made beautiful pin-drive units.

Best regards,
