Default Thanks Ray li !

Only bought the Impreza last Monday so thought I had missed the group buy but phoned up today and got a set of Gold Redlines at the special price

Yeah I know, bit of a sheep but they do look a top wheel !

Git! They're the ones I wanted!!!! Any pics??
My Mot is due on the 14th may. I know my front nearside tyre is going to fail, so I really wanted to get the tyres with a new set of wheels. Looks like I'll have to settle for silver! I have a white sti 4 with the original gold wheels. Considered the gold redlines, but gf told me that if I bought wheels ( and I had a choice not to), she'd walk instead!
Good exercise I surpose!

Guy's,

I have had these whells since just before the group buy started, and the wheels nuts are starting to look grotty already, due to the chrome cracking where the sockets been used on them, does anyone know if/where stainless nuts might be available???
I know they'd be costly, but rather that than rusty nuts.. (ouch!)

TA.

Still got them, but kerbed 2 of them a while ago . I needed new tyres and by the time i had got tyres, had the 2 wheels referbed and tyres fitted, it would be near the same cost as these new set. I want 2 sets anyway, 1 for trck and 1 for road. I will probably get the wheels referbed sometime before needing my next new set and just alternate between wheels at each tyre change, as do really like my old(er) ones.


I also have a problem, i cannot go a week without buying something for the car!!!! Its only Monday and i've spent £30 on it!!!!!!

As


As far as I know, I was the only one outside the UK that also joined this groupbuy.

I'm very glad with these awesome wheels and tyres, perhaps you guys like to see them under my Dutch MY99:
