If you can't get hold of any I would recommend the following. Some theifing Chav ran off with one of my wheel centres from my Lotus Europa. I managed to take a mould of an existing one, using some wierd moddling plastic that become malliable in boiling water but you could probably use plaster of paris etc. Make a new one out of fiberglass, spray paint and you really cant tell the difference.
have same problem with one missing wheel centre. Going to replace all 4 with these ones

Just have to change the badges, did the same on my Vixen which hasn't got any centres when i purchased it. The rostyle centres match gottis and the classic vixen style wheels very well

As another has posted on here perhaps making some is the way forward, see page 23 of this thread; http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I did some research last year to see if there was an alternative. The nearest match was indeed the MGB GT one ( Chrome). Most of the lugs had broken off on mine. Also the TVR logo in the centre of mine ( could be faded) looked purple.
Mine are the same as these. I have 3 decent ones and one with a couple of lugs missing.Anyone tried the MG cap?

I have three caps with two lugs on them, and a TVR S cut down one rapped in tape to fit . The only other alternative is to fit Imola wheel caps that i had seen on another Griff. Although they looked flush to the centre of the wheel, If that makes sense.
I have one that is also just about hanging on but is on its last legs.
Look what John has done here, What ya recon.

They look a bit on the tall side but what a fantastic job.
I have the same centres as FFG
I wonder if he would make some to our spec - it can't be that much different can it?
I also wonder if he could make them so a big O ring or similar goes on the back to keep them in place. I don't like the idea of pressing those ali tabs into my paintwork.
He hasn't finished developing them yet though so I will certainly watch what his final solution is with some interest.

I've got a spare front and rear both with centres. I've tried to get one out and its impossible. The only solution I can think of is something akin to pair of pliers with 2 halves with 2 semi circles that squeeze the lug enough to release them. I'm no engineer but know what I think would work.
These need to be removed every time you change a tyre so cant believe anyone still has any left.

Apparently Gotti went bust in 92 and Ronal took over the business.
