I've seen a few cerbera's at tvr dealers with 18" tuscan wheels on. They look quite good.
Would they fit on a chimaera?

What is the correct way to pronounce 'Chimaera' anyway?.
Is it:

Shim-air-ah

Or,

Ki-mere-ah.

Ki-mere-ah is correct.

And no, the 18" Tuscan spiders don't fit Griffs or Chims - you can't buy them in 4 stud fitment.

The only way to get them to fit is to change the hubs for 5 stud hubs, and that's pretty expensive.

Chimps easier, and it winds up a few who need to get a life!

Phil, with you all the way on that one.

What is a 'Chim' anyway ? Maybe the thought police pronounce it 'Chim' (like Dick Van Dyke) rather than 'Kime' ?

Zippy, what Phil & I meant was that there is a close knit group of people with strange shaped earlobes and webbing between their toes, who meet in secret to weed out and persecute those who like to use the word 'Chimp'.

They prefer the use of the word 'Chim', but given that as we all know, it is pronounced 'Kime', what exactly is a Kime ?

I for one am quite happy with the word Chimp, it describes the car i.e. muscular, squat and gurgling and popping noises eminate from it's rear end..........

And then there's the people who think that Chimp and Chim are both shit ways to refer to Chimaera!
