Lockers did not turn up in the Saturday post ... so I changed the wheels without them. OEM locker nut will fit, but there is no way in hell you can get the key over the nut to tighten it.

Fingers crossed the lockers will be here in the Monday post!

Craig

Hi Craig, Still time if you want to join in
As for 05 fitment you will need to call Julian and have a talk to him about it, I really don't know what fits on the new 05 models.

I'll e-mail you the contact information as well
Just let him know it's in relation to this group buy.

Contact details are

I have to agree they really look good on there J.



Did they go down well at the meet when the gang seen them ?
And how frustrated am I that your lockers have still not landed on the mat if they are not with you Monday can you give Julian a call and make sure he is sending them to you you don't think someone has a couple of sets now do you ??

Simon

 

Right gents I think we shall start to wind this down now I think it's run it's natural course, It's gone very well all bar a couple of little glitches which hopefully are all now resolved or in the final stages of being.

Thanks to Julian for letting this one happen I think we all have some very good quality wheels at a brilliant price I'll do another one for the guys that did not get any this time if the interest is there next year at some point if you want me to.

Thanks to all you for participating in this a pleasure to help you all out.

Anytime Matt, If I get chance tonight I shall put it together as long as all the info is now at my finger tips... so you may not have to long to wait !! lol

 

stop it man !!

 

No

 

I'm going to need some tyres end of this month. Hopefully Julian can do them at the price he was doing for the group buy

Chris

 

Hi guys....newbie here, is it too late to jump on the band wagon for this group buy? or can i still make the cut?

Would be after a set of 18" GRA Tarmac II's, steel grey or bronze (decision time) for an 05 WRX complete with 225/40 Kumho's .

cheers.

 

Your certainly keeping us waiting to see them on the car there !!

 

Your more than welcome to join in on the tail end.... one thing though is I am unsure about the 05 fitment, I'm sure it's slightly different ?
The best thing is to give Julian a call let him know it's from the group buy and check on the fitment before you order. If you get the green light for fitment drop back on here and let me know and I can update the list accordingly.

Regards
Simon

Hi Simon, just a wee update!!

I replied to an e-mail I got from Julian confirming that 8.5" wheels will fit in my arches without any problems.... and am still waiting on the prices with/without tyres for the wheels I am after.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Excellent Grant.... that was a while back I will confess to forgetting about this until now hope you have not been waiting to long my friend.

Simon

 

I'm liking these wheels. Anyone got some pics of the Bronze ones on a classic or the silver sub zeros?
Any opinions on the Kumhos? I've had Toyo's for as long as i remember, but dunno if they are worth £100 more than the Kumhos

 

Here we go Mark subzeros in silver

 

Not for me i don't think thanks Si.
Right - now got to choose between the bronze ones and the Gunmetal with polished face ones

 

Help wiv pics of the above anyone?

 

Mark, Copy one a gaz's pic from here

Clicky

See if you can get the car colour changed.
If you want my input I would go for Bronze myself.... we need a photoshop expert me thinks

 

I'm liking the polished jobbies as i think the way they are done makes em look huge, however, i can't help liking the bronze. I could do a photoshop myself, but as this decision is pretty darn important i think i need a real world pic.
Has anyone bought the bronze at all?

 

16. sandyRS16i... 18" GRA's Bronze with Khumos Delivered

There you are Mark sandy had a set.... PM time for you I think my friend

 

He's not fitting them till the weelend
Really keen to order them this week which is a bummer

Has anyone got pics of Kumho's fitted to 18" GRA's?

Need to order the tyres for my wheels very soon. Want to se how the Kumho's sit on the wheels

Thanks

Chris

 

Chris these are some 235/40/18's off a bugeye if that helps

 

Thanks for the pics Simon...but i was hoping for some 215/35/18 Kumho's fitted to the GRA's

Wondered if they fit over the rims like the Toyo's. Remember how paranoid I am now about different tyres Dunno what I'd do if these wheels rub on the arches? Prolly drive the damn thing into a wall ... Joke!

Cheers

Chris

 

You'll be alright.... How nervous did you think I was with my ride height, and I've not had any problems at all with them

Try giving sandy a pm.... Brun wanted to see what his wheels looked like and sandy said he was going to fit them this weekend so hopefull he should be able to get a couple of pics for you

or there is jdman

1. jdman..... 18" GRA Tarmac II's in Gun Metal Kumho's

 

Chaps

I'm not one for moaning as it's wastes too much time, but when this side of Christmas am I going to get my locking wheel nuts?

If I work this out correctly.... I've now had 3 sets sent to me and all have gone missing. What are the odds on that?

I don't see why I should have to buy a set if they were included in the original price, but it's looking like I'll have to.

I'll wait to see what the post brings this morning. If there's still no sign I'll sort mine own out.
