Hi all,

I'm looking to change the wheels on the Griffith, after seeing some examples on here, Ive settled on some Lenso BSX's, 16 inch front, and 17 inch on the rear,

As the car is white, I was wondering wether to go for the black ones they do -



Car in question..


Just wondering what people option's are, weather to go for black, or play it save with silver
they also do a gold..


James.

Thanks guys smile

Matthew, Just what I'm wondering too, not usually a fan of them, but could look good

Butch, many thanks for the photo, the silvers do look good! Looks lovely on yours too.


Heres a quick mock up I did using my lack of photoshop skills......

Many thanks guys, Think I'll go for the black then, the chap at the shop said he has black ones in stock as well, but silver ones not to the new year. Another reason to go for the black ones smile

Many thanks for the photos Matthew, really do like the look of them

Hi there

I'm looking at 16 inch front and 17 inch rear,

I contacted a company called Rimstyle, the chap I spoke to there was happy to sell staggered wheel sizes

I recon the silvers would look great on yours being red, when researching I saw this one, they're compomotives I think-

All arrived fitted now, quite pleased with how they're looking - not as lost in the arches as the previous wheels.

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 smile

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
