Both my sets have gone now, one on the car and the other to another member, great wheels and I think I may have to get a set if 18's in 114.3 now, to go with the Turinis and Gara's 😃

Spoke to him this morning and got him down to £800 if I collect but I really, really don't want gold on a silver car.
So that will be £1000 once a get them painted, just for wheels!

Yeah, I'm torn really. New Rotas that you quoted or these. I could buy them today but in 5x114 and then use hub adaptors. Just that nobody seems have done that!

What about Rota Titan wheels as an alternative?

Quite like the look of these, even in 17 inch.

Think I am going to end up going for Rota GRA's in 18 inch as I can't find anything else at a reasonable price.

IMO I would wait until what you want comes along or buy new. I waited a year for a set of turini's, bought 2 from a fella off here and 2 single ex display wheels off the bay, all four set me back just over 300 quid and they were all spanking new.
I have ummed and rrr'd over pff7's, pwrc 's, and bbs alloys but decided against them purely because they are no longer available and picking up replacements would be a nightmare !
I've also gone down the rota and inovit route and they are so heavy compared to the speedlines I wouldn't waste my money on them again.
In a nutshell the speedline turini is a tried and tested light yet strong competition wheel that really suits the newage impreza.
Let's face it, you would be hard pushed to find a better set of wheels for just shy of £1000.
All this is just my experience as I have been a bit of a wheel ***** over the years and been burnt by more than a few buckled second hand wheels.

Did spot a set of 3 that came off a blob eye? Could be 100 pcd?

Not too sure on the implications of changing your hubs to 5x114's plenty of wheels you like at reasonable prices, plus easy to find and replace if you damage one :-)
