who has aftermarket wheels?

[Barreti]

[scoule]

My grif 500 with Team Dynamics Pro-race 1.2's ... 7x17 ET25 215/40x17 front, 8x18 ET35 rear 245/35x18, Toyo T1-R's.

Cost £972 inc wheels, tyres, delivery, nuts etc from Demon Tweeks.



(Ok, I know it's sad taking a picture of your own car in a Morissons car park after owning it for 10 years)

I have the same wheel and size...I was thinking to paint them matte black...

Do you know if they're pretty lightweight compared to other aftermarket rims?

I've got some 18's and 17's on my car, I'll stick up a pic tonight/tomorrow.

Sadly stuck with them now as my Gottis melted.

You can't beat a genuine set of Gottis. Just had mine refurbed by Lepsons in Swindon:



Nice move Quinny! Will you be getting a flat-nose front next?

Team Dynamics Diablo 17" x 7.5J front and rear. They are to narrow for the rear IMHO and I'm looking to replace with something that has a 8.5J to 9J rear fitment

Particularly like these;

For Gotti fans and TVR anoraks there's a short bio of the man who designed the pre-cat Griffith wheels here:

I like the pic of him standing in the 'axia' showroom in 1988 surrounded by his five spoke creations. Sadly he passed way in 2007

They're the only ones i'd change the Estorils for and then when I'm a millionaire and rebuild the SP6 Griffith I'll have the right wheels as well

I don't know about after market rims, but they were significantly lighter than the Esotorils, even though the Estorils had worn tyres! I did weigh them at the time and was quite surprised by the difference.
