AFTER MARKET ALLOYS

[BLUETHUNDER]

Has anyone got pictures of chimaeras with after market alloys as it is very difficult to find a wheel that suits the car

[pinkchim]

If i can get hold of a digi camera will try my best. Currently running a set of raceline 17" all round with toyos on (with bigger tyres on the back), looks the business. if you go to a decent wheel place they will try any on for you anyway. must admit got mine from HHC though!

[BLUETHUNDER]

Cheers.( anyone else)

Look up Kerniki's on memeber page he has a black Chimaera with a rather nice set of wheels, check out my profile (and Apache) for Racelines but both on Griff's Rich...

S Willy...those Kahns look v nice indeedy. Were the offsets available easily or have you had to space at all?

[s_willy]

No idea, left it all to the garage and just paid the dosh.

Gary, veery nice indeedy, are they OZ? I nearly bought a Griff privately with wheels like these, glad I didn't cos the engine blew shortly after. If anyone is still looking for Racelines as fitted to Rich and mine I've heard they no longer make em

Brilliant!! Where do I get them???

[andy_mu]

Please see pic on profile

These wheels were fitted when I purchased the car. They are 18" Rears with 235/40s & 17" front with 215/45 tyres

[BLUETHUNDER]

Wheels look tasty,but thats the first time i have ever seen a white chimaera a rarity in its self

[andy_mu]

Thats what sold it to me, had a succession of white cars since I used to drive up and down the motorway, in a white car-but that had a lot of reflective red and yellow down the side and around the rear !!!

I don't know how rare white is but it looks good, I think, this one is a ex demonstrator from Bauer Millett in Manchester.

[apache]

I've seen white Griffs and they don't quite work, but your Chimeara looks bloody nice mate...good taste!

[squirrelz]

Yeah nice, is it an albino?

[Mr Freefall]

They are TWS FUSION 17" running 245/40/17 on the front and 255/50/17 on the rear with Bridgestone tread. I got them from The TVR Centre in Barnet. I paid £1000 inc vat for the set inc 4 wheel alignment and settings. You can also get them with TVR caps on the wheels I then sold my origional wheels for £350 for the set on ebay, so really they only cost me £650 for the set. Bloody good deal in the end!!!!

When I was speaking to the TVR Centre they seem to have worked alot with TWS on the setting to get them right for the Chim. There are several Griffs with them on but as I understand it the Chim has to be set up different, don't know why but they said it had taken them some time to "get the settings right"

I think they loot the nuts but there is no accounting for tase

The TVR Centre have them in stock ( I think) the guy to ask for is Roger on 0208 440 6666.
