Not the best photo's, due to the weather, but you get the idea. As soon as I can clean it, and take some more pics, I will. What do you think?

Thumbs up

Not a massive fan of black wheels, but those polished rims look nice with the silver bodywork. Has someone thieved your valve caps?

Think the picture doesn't do them justice. There graphite, and I like the look too. The wheels came without valve caps, think they got nicked in transit. Julian sending some more out.

I'm still waiting for a wheel and some valve caps from Julian, but they should be on the way and I have wheels on the car now. Very nice.

Aaaaghh! Kerbed one already! A moment's inattention parking and there's a 2 inch scar on the rim.

Anyone know the paint code for the SteelGrey?

Cheers,
Steve

Ouch

I'm not sure what the code is but Julian was talking about doing touch up pots at one point not sure if he has got them as yet though, but he could help you with the code I hope.

Sorry to drag this thread up again, but are any of you running 225/35/18's on your Rota's on a classic shaped Impreza, or is everyone running the 215's??

Need to know if 225's will catch the arches on the rear with the 48mm et.

Cheers

No worries PICKLE

As far as I'm aware everyone with a classic that had 18's went for the 215/35/18 with a 48 offset wheel.

That's what I'm running without any troubles at all and I'm very low on H&R Springs. I'm not sure if the 225 is suited better for a newage fitment ??
Did you get them through this... did I miss your name on the list when I just checked through ? it may pay you to give Julian a call either way he is very knowledged on offset's and tyre fitment.

Hope that helps
Simon

No, not bought thru this group buy. Will have to go with the 215's with the 48et, as it looks to tight on the rear arches.

run 225's on my et53 wheels with no problems, but the et48 puts them out further towards the bodywork of the car

It's just the 215's look abit 'skinny' on them and offer no rim protection.
Still, at least they're cheaper to buy

Hmmmmm......nearly a month later and I'm STILL waiting for one wheel and a set of valve caps, mind you I'm not surprised as it took over three weeks and several phone calls before I got the refund, despite many promises. I'm quite cheesed off now. Julian seemed helpful and genuine, but in all this time, he hasn't contacted me once withput being prompted.
