After being inspired by pictures of SimonWedge's Griff (thumbup)on previous wheel threads I ordered a set of Lenso BSX in June and it has taken till now to get them but they were put on Saturday and I have to say I'm very pleased with them. I have ordered some TVR stickers for the centres. After buying the M6 the Griff was pushed out a little but these have put it firmly back in its rightful place smile

I know the purists will whinge but not everyone is allowed to spend thousands on "proper wheels" and this set (16" front 17" rear plus new toyo tyres all round came in at under £800cool Speak to Gary at Rimstyle he was most helpful

My Griff has been tucked up in the next door neighbours garage for almost a year, while we have renovated and extended our house. I get it back later and think it deserves a treat with a set of them. Very nice.

I put a set of these on my Chimaera 450 about 8 years ago and they still look great and get lots of very positive comments. Good choice and pleased to hear they are still obtainable.

205/50 R16 and 245/45 R17 but a bit early to tell as I've only done about 40 miles to scrub the tyres off so farfrown. In a couple of weeks time new suspension is going on (new Bilsteins) and proper 4 wheel alignment so I'll have a better idea then probably! smile

Thank you for all your comments thumbup

It's not a sandwich hehe it's a tape measure to get the size of the centres for some ebay TVR domed sticker things. It's 70mm if you're interestedtongue out

Thanks, I've seen these on a few Chims and they look great. Time for a forum picture update maybe??

Hmm. Very tempting. Never been a fan of the estorils. Can you tell me the wheel sizes ( Inc offsets). Going up a size changes the overall look of the car. It sits more "positively".

Hi RogerDodger,

If you do decide to go for the Lenzo rims, I would be interested in buying your Estoril Wheels off you.
