No. The courier was meant to deliver them to the British Forces Post Office in London, then they fly them over on a flight the next day. The first courier couldnt be bothered to find the Post Office in London, so returned them to Rare Rims. Julian said he had sorted it, but I still haven't received them! I'm without a car now as my tyres are just below the legal limit!
NOT HAPPY!!!!!!!!!

Dont know if this has been said yet but the next time you look at a set of Rota rims (may only be certain ones) they have a prodrive decal inside. Thats the case with my SDR's. I say if its good enough for prodrive.. they are good rims.

That could be a safety standard mark and not a manufacturers mark embossed on the alloy ?

I have no idea why Prodrives' name would be on the wheel, all I know is that Prodrive use Speedline and OZ Racing (plus BBS on the rally car).

What exact wheel have you got and is the Prodrive logo a sticker or actually cast into the wheel?

What's SDR? (hoping I'm not suffering from brain fade here and it's not another famous "what does PPP stand for" equivalent)

Are you serious? As stated above, we are talking about Rota rims. The rim in question is the SDR. The set I received has Prodrive decals inside all four. They where purchased from subydude.com
If I didnt have tires aready mounted I would take pics.

Not sure yet. Might be going up to St. Andrews. Just getting the car ready to stick in the back of a C130 Hercules and fly it home!

Sorry, the only Rota rims I had heard of were the tarmac II version (copy of Prodrives' 10 spoke wheel). Having looked at scubydude's website, the SDR is a direct copy of the Prodrive PFF7 made for them by Speedline.

I still don't understand how they can be using the Prodrive name to flog copies of their own wheel (having seen several instance where Prodrive have got very upset in the past with companies illegally using their brand).

Has anyone else seen these logos on Rota wheels or is it just BVM?
