Ordered my 18" Tarmac's in silver today for my 2003 WRX.
The deal has got sweeter by the way as they have replaced the Toyo tyres with Yokohama Parada 2 instead, touch !.
Will post a pic when they are fitted.

Hi all, just got my ROTA GRA wheels delivered and they look superb !.
Just one thing did anyone get them with wheel centre covers or not ?.
If not where can I get some, as they will look a bit odd without them ?

Cheer's .

Mark.

Did you go for an alloy and tyre package ? as the centres should be fitted...
If you only went for the alloy package you will find the centres loose in one of the boxes.
Failing that give Julian a call and let him know that you have not got the centre caps and he will get some in the post to you.

Just phoned Julian and he could'nt apologise enough for leaving them out.
By way of compensation he is sending out both sets of centre cap that they do ( Silver and Carbon finish ), how's that for customer satisfaction .

Will now put the wheels on at the weekend, can't wait they look quality !.

Cheers

Mark.

Sorry to report but still no centre caps as promised .
Tried phoning Julian this morning but no answer and left a message for him to contact me Monday to tell me of their whereabouts.
Really am dissapointed as was really looking forward to fitting the wheels this weekend.
I did phone him at 1.30 on Wednesday and told him about the lack of caps so it should have given plenty of time for postage but who knows .
Lets see what Monday brings......
Will keep you posted.

Mark.

That's a Mark... Keep me informed please.

One good tip to give while they are off the car is to get a few coats of polish on them this will help you to clean them and stop the muck sticking to them this weather.

Well phoned them again today and it appears they may have got lost in the post .
So another couple of sets of what I was promised are being sent out tonight so I should have them some time this week.
Sods law the original set will turn up tomorrow, but by their own admission their local post office apparently is far from reliable !.
So lets see what happens.........

Cheers .

Nice one Chachi... I like them a lot

Mark.. We have had a few cases of wandering wheel nuts so maybe the postman needs a swift kick
Fingers crossed for fitting them this weekend for you


TyPe~~R.... Now look what I have just found for you
I remember you asking the question a little while back and I went on a little mission back then to see if I could get the answer for you, I did not get a 100% answer but I got part way there check this out...

NASIOC

Maybe an e-mail to AP for a template may fully clear things up for you.

Regards
Simon
