What are they? and what are they worth?

[sim shane]

As the description really i got these wheels along with my cerbera but as i dont intend to fit them i am going to sell them - probably on the pistonheads parts classifieds - hope im not breaking any rules here just i dont know how much to advertise them for! and what they are called or refered to as.
If you look at the pics you can see there is a bit of paintwork damage around the edges but no kerb damage.

Any help appreciated.. Shane

I don't know, but my parents used to have that flooring in their kitchen!

They look like the wheels fitted to the Griffith Speed Six concept car??

Not Cerbera wheels, but an interesting set definately. As to thier value, im not sure, they'd suit a griffith, but the Griff would need a hub conversion. I cant see them being worth more than a normal set of Estorils (griffith 500 standard wheels.)

Interesting though.

Thanks BCA looks like you may be correct! see pics i found when i googled it (Quite an interesting car)

"Made in Italy" I would guess they are made by OZ like some other TVR wheels.
(Of course they could be Speedline (OEM not retail) but those are the only Italian manufacturers I can think of)

Are you sure? This is a pic of a very early Tuscan on original 16s.

They're what I recall being fitted to the earliest of tuscans. I do not think these were, as I said previously, I am pretty sure they were used on the prototype griffith Speed six, they may have also graced the prototype Tuscan, but I do not think they were ever fitted to a production TVR.

They are cerbera wheels as fitted to early 4.2s I think as an upgrade option. PX wheels in blackpool refurbish them you can see them on there website.As for what they are worth I wouldnt have thought a lot as most people want spiders and RLs. Might be worth giving PX a ring to see if they want them for stock.

I am away from home at present so can't post any pics.i have pics of them on The Griffith Speed Six Prototype as above,An early Tuscan and also a Cerbera,some were 4 stud as fitted to a white and a red Griff,very rare i think,most were 5 stud.i bought mine from a garage who bought up the remaining stock when the factory closed.

The wheels in the original post are 5 stud whereas the Griff with a speed six had 4 stud versions.

My 16" wheels made less than £20 on ebay.

That's just criminal they are pucker Oz alloys, it actually saddens me, especially given the price some cheap tat makes. I remember why i leave mine in the garage.

Back on topic they don't look like Cerbera Oz Saturns to me, the early tuscans had 16" RL7's afaik. They do look the same as the speed6 Griff prototype one though.

They do look like the s6 griff but too many stud holes.

Good spot, never seen a set of those fitted to a Cerb, but then again i might have not have given them a second look either.
Funny how 'I/we' all 'know' the Oz Saturns are 16" 6 spoke but didn't notice these are 7 spoke

[Gazzab]

Those px wheels are 17 inch..?

[Zarkingfardwarks]

maybe the pxwheels listing is wrong? they don't look bigger

They are 16" you've just found a redundant web page, they ARE cerb wheels but only fitted to very few early cerbs, soon overtaken by OZ Saturns, 17" and 18" RL7s and spiders, not worth much but look good on 5 stud Griffs, I tried them on mine for a while but went for 18" spiders in the end.
