Have seen these wheels on Ebay :-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2475832317&category=9886&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWA%3AIT&rd=1

These would be the right kind of sizes I need for a Project of mine, are they of a Griff. If so does any body else know where I could get any ?

But mainly what are the offsets on them, and are there any other size's, those are 7 x 15" and 7.5 x 16".

Any help would be great,

Clive

I didnt realise that the Griff fitting was the same as a Ford fitting?

Then again I think wedges and V8S were available with these wheels too.

I think the wedges have a 5 stud pattern. Look like the early Griff wheels to me.

They seem pukka Griff 4.x wheels to me, but badly in need of restoration. However, very collectable.

Yeah there's a set for sale on E-bay at present - need refurbished and there's only one centre.

I have recently bought a set and had horendous problems with getting anything for them, ie locking bolts for the centre caps. The centre doesn't look right to me. I suggest you don't commit until you have seen a set and check that the centres are the ones that came with the wheels originally and all the spoke patterns line up. One of my centres is twisted and can't be refurbed to the same standard as the others. There was a post for an OZ centre recently but there was no response.
After being screwed over myself my advise is stay well alone - there is something dodgy about them.

The OZs on ebay look like early Griff ones. I just picked up a fairly tidy set with useable SO2s fitted and paid, (in my opinion) a bit over the odds at £250. I have centers but no bolts to fix them. If you search there is a Lotus forum that explains re-furb of this wheel. Can't recall where but found it via Google.
