Gentlemen,

You may have seen this but I wanted to extend the invitation to Griffith owners again, we are 4 buyer short of this buy. For me personally I think this is the most awesome look and technically a really good solution for wheels on a Chimaera and Griffith.

I’m not actually orchestrating this deal but the current agreement looks like this:

16x7.5J ET25
17x8.5J ET35
4x108 stud
Silver, White, Anthracite, Black, Gold
GBP 530+vat approx depending upon colour (slight extra charge for 8.5 rather 8.0, excludes delivery)

This is for 15 sets. There is a little debate about details like rear width (8.0 vs 8.5) but we can close this.

Our list of buyers currently looks like this:
1: v8ndy.
2: pigpen
3: Ropps
4: snorky
5:scania. Griff forum
6:Aerospoke
7:MikeM400
8:jut1v
9:skid mark
10:str
11:Overhere

So 4 more needed! Get in there quick or miss out! These wheels are really THE best looking wheels on these cars (ok, ok, I’m not a salesman, just trying to close the deal!)
I did a screen grab of this photo off of YouTube, apologies to the owner for using it but if I do say, they look awesome. This is 16” all around, 17/16 would be the dogs!

Please respond to the thread on the Chim forum or PM v8ndy, Ropps or myself

Are these being cast as 'blanks', i.e. without the holes drilled? The reason I ask is that I carried out the 5 stud conversion and would like the option to go for the 16/17 in the future. There may be a few others that would consider this, as the 18's can be a bit harsh?

I would also consider a set if their is a 5 stud option. I’m mainly interested, as you have kept to the standard Griffith offsets and kept the rears larger than the fronts as per the factory.

The last 2 years I’ve been running on 16 spiders but I had to swap the fronts and rears over to maintain the standard Griffith offsets. Please be warned this was not a quick and easy swap on my Precat Griffith and therefore these tailor-made spiders sound a much better option.

I agree with Martin and Steve
I would love 17" x 8.5"J 5-stud rear Spiders



I currently run 16" fronts & 17" rears RL's but would happly change back to Spiders if I could buy 17" rear spiders.
Will 5-stud or wheels with no holes be available? I could get them drilled myself.
If yes, I would put my name on the list and commit to buy.
