Default GRA 18's

I dont care what anyone says those GRA's 18" Gunmetal with a polished face look the absolute dogs spuds!!!

Cannot wait till I get mine through. Have a 03 STi blue with a few engine mods but no exterior changes and these alloys will be the icing on the cake.

Shame mine isnt silver as they look great on the silver wagon a few pages back

Frayz... I've just asked and these are just available in 17" and there are no immediate plans to make them in 18".

Well done matey... I know what your doing on the weekend then, one good tip is to get a couple of coats of polish on them it helps the brake dust and road film to clean off nice and easy.
Let us know when they arrive I like to keep the list updated to make sure everything is all ok.

Regards
Simon

Hi Evez,
By far the best thing to do is to give Julian a call on 01363 777007
let him know it is in relation to the group buy for the discount and he will be able to run through any techinical or availability questions you have, they may simply be out of stock of gold until the next shipment.

Regards
Simon

Simon,

You can update your list................

My 18" polished faced gra's arrived today in Amsterdam, and I have to say, I'm very pleased with what I see, exept for the missing wheel locks..............I will drop Julian an email on that.

It's a shame I can't put them on the car right now, I will be leaving this weekend for 2 weeks in the snow in Austria. The snowtires are on my Sub and won't be removed for this vacation.

Anyway, when I get back I will put them on the car and make a copple of 'dutch' snapshots.

Pim

Brilliant to hear they have arrived over there safe and sound....

Don't worry I'm in the uk and I'm running on my old 16's until the salt stops getting put down then I'll put mine back on so your not on your own in that respect.

Thanks for the comments so far, they have really changed the appearance of the car .
Just one thing, can anyone advise as to what tyre pressures I should maintain for the new tyres ?.
They are 225/40 18, I was guessing somewhere in the region of 28-30 psi ?.
Would it be the same pressure all round or should I go less on the rear ?.

Any advice appreciated

Mark.

Mark,
Have a read through This_Section for plenty of advice on tyre pressures... this Thread in particular may be of use but there are plenty more in there if you extend your search.

I can't remember off hand what is in mine but it's in the early 30's.. I'm on a 35mm wall

Hi,

Just ordered a set of 17" Subzeros in silver with polished rim.

Wheels only as they are for a Forester & I need a 50 profile to keep the gearing/speedo right.

Due Thursday - really chuffed - many thanks for arranging the GB

Cheers

(P.S. I would post pictures when they are on the car but I guess you lot won't want to look at a boring old Fozzie )
