Wheels

[Colin RedGriff]

When I bought my Griff 500 it came fitted with a set of golf cart wheels (Imolas) and I've thought about changing them several times. Recently I managed to get my hands on a set of Estoril wheels (thanks Christian). However they've been painted a dark metallic grey rather than the normal silver.

Put them on the car this evening to see what they look like.

I might get them repainted at some point and I think the colour they are looks pretty good with the colour of the car. What do you think? Should I put them back to the original silver or leave them like this?

Silver for me.

[Ropps]

Bit to bling for me. Silver in my opinion looks classier. Looks like you have the 108x4 set up. Have you thought about the Tuscan spiders specially made for the chim the thread is on the chim forum.

Also I see you live in and around Berkshire, do you go to the meets?

[Colin RedGriff]

Yes saw the thread but not a big fan of the spiders really.

I've been along to a couple of the Berkshire meets but not for some time, Tuesday always seems to be the day when something goes wrong and I'm late leaving the office.

Ah ok. Think a few of the guys a going this month so if your around pop over.

They look good to me. The dark wheels combine with the dark roof to give a co-ordinated colour scheme. Then again, I'm a bit biased.....

Raceline RL7s best wheels for a Griff 500 I'd say...

Couldnt't agree more.

However, if my Griff hadnt been bought with the RL7's already on, I would have been looking for the same type and colour wheels as the O.P.

Prefer the Imolas.. but the latter speedlines (or do I mean racelines.. always thought they were speedline )trump them

Don't think those come in the right offset or PCD though

[TVR Beaver]

Mmm got to say.. I like them in the dark colour on a red car ?

Have to say that with that body colour, those wheels are spot on.

First picture is without doubt the best option.

(makes it look a bit like the Griff's more attractive sister)
