ahh cak,

quick find another credit card, really fancy the black with polished face tarmacs on my black sti.

Why am i skint when the good stuff comes along

will the 18" tarmac clear sti brembos okay?

 

I have 17inch rota tarmac ones which is a P1 replica ones. They clear the brembos. Had to sell my P1's as wouldn't clear brembos!!!

 

Yes mate they will clear your Brembo's

This is over 4 pots

 

I have 18" Tarmac 2's on my 99 UK Classic (4pots) standard hight with no rubbing front or rear.

 

Anyoneknow if subzero 18's will fit under ap sixpots and 350mm discs?

 

Not bad unless you choose the GRID which I quite like as £350 is the retail price on them anyway so no saving

 

Right i'm in. I'll have a set Tarmac II's in Gun Metal 18" with Kumho's for now. I'll let them run down and get a decent set of tyres next year.

So tell me what I need to do.

Cheers for this.

 

I've asked that question for you.

 

Nice one jdman
What we need is a list of 10 names in order for the buy to become active on the discount prices... so keep in touch on the thread and when we have enough you will simply need to phone Julian, let him know it's the group buy order from here and place your order.

Simon can you just confirm because I am a little confused I thought the et was 45 on classics ?

Mines a JDM imported last year I am in the market for a new set of wheels but before i commit i want to make sure they are the right offset.. Team Dynamics quote a 45 for mine? and as you will know the wrong et will cause tyre ware ?

the above size states 48 ?

I am just quoting what TD say about wheel size for the WRX and not anything from my own knowledge..

Is there any more choice of wheels for the clasic on this buy or just the two stated ?

In desperation

Mick

 

Hello Mick.... When I had mine a couple of weeks back Julian advised on a 48 off set, I'm running a low car and have no rubbing issues on mine at all, or any other issues come to that.

Check my thread out from a couple of weeks back in case you have not seen it Click_Me that will show you how the car sits on the 18's.

The best thing I can say is to give Julian a call and he will run through all your questions about fitment and availability, if you want to go 17" there is a lot of choice but if you want 18" it becomes more limited.
The last thing I want to do is try and quote off set figures and availability to you as I'm not 100% sure on them.... I know how important it is to get this correct I hope that's ok for you Mick ?

I might be interested in a set of 17" GRID in black if the price can be bettered than just the normal retail which is £350 anyway

 

Does anybody know the weights of these rims

 

The total weight for my four 18's was 39kgs...
You got to be looking at 9.5kgs each on the 18" GRA (Tarmac 2's) that's tyre and alloy.

 

Thanks

I am thinking of getting 18" rims however I would like to get the lightest I can.
I have a set of 17" with RE070's in the workshop I will wiegh them, my guess is that they are more than 9.5 kg each.

 

I'm afraid the offer on the 17's is the best he can do at this moment in time.
The 18's are where the largest savings are to be had.

 

It will pay you to ask Julian to weigh the one your interested in if it is not the GRA (Tarmac 2) that will be a good idea for your comparison. I'm assuming it's for a new age car ?
What I was very pleased about when I had mine was the fact they have the finish on the inner rim as well as the outer... when I had my standard wrx wheels fitted that was always my grumble that the muck stuck to the inners straight after you cleaned them... with these they have had a coule of coats of polish in and out so that should help me lots when cleaning.

Hope that helps you mate

 

Thanks again

I will bell him tomorrow, mine is an 03 I had the same issues with my wheels, the finish behind the spokes was very poor.

 

Pleased to help you

---------Any news on if they fit under ap 6pots and three fiddy discs?----------------

 

TyPe~~R, I just had a reply to that very question you asked.....

For the AP sixpots, we would need really to have AP's profile partern (usually a cardboard templete you can hold against the rear of the wheel).

Thats the only way we will know for sure.

I'm going to say I hope that helps, Have you got the template ?

Simon

Well I'll try and get hold of the template. I dont have the brakes yet but its somthing I'm hoping to do within the next few months. Is this GB running untill thers 10 people or is it set by date?

 

There is no date set it will run until we get the 10 names.... I'm not going to guess at a timescale.
No worries matey

 

Please confirm price of £760 total is for:

Set of 4 Rota Tarmac II, gold, with 225/40 x 18 Toyo T1-S tyres? And also please confirm delivery charge. Many thanks!

 

I must be missing something then.....it says £297.87 +vat on your website which works out at £349.99 ?
