Thanks very much for the clarification ;-)

Does julian suply them with 35's on or do we have to source them ourselfs?
Thanks again Mick

 

Mick here is a small breakdown on the 18's for you....

For the Group Buy the prices will be...........

With Toyo's T1R 215/35/18 it will be £760 (standard price is £899)

With Kumhos 215/35/18 it will be £640 (standard price is £739)

That's a set of 4 alloys including tyres fitted and balanced
All of these come complete with wheels nuts and locks included.
.................................................. ......................................
Anyone wishing to purchase just the alloy with no tyre the standard price is £515 but for the GB the price will be £380 for a set.

I must add there is a carriage charge on these that's not included above.
Julian will clarify the price of that.

As you can see you have a few choices there

I'm running the Toyo's myself

Simon

I have upated the list

Have you got a pic of the kumhos tread pattern ? I am not familiar with these tyres, I am 100% in for the wheels as stated, am just checking with local tyre company who supplied my last set of Federals as I found them to be a good tyre in all conditions but also had the rim protector.(thiswont effect the wheel purchase) just if i go for wheel tyre combo.

Once again mate BIG thanks for your personal input and gathering information, and also pass on my thanks to Julian..

Well done mate.

 

Mick, I've just come off the phone from Julian... he will be sending me a picture of the tyre and I'll post that up for you later on so you can see the pattern.
What he did say is if you have a preference for any other brand he should be able to fit whatever you want.

Thanks for the thanks it takes some work holding GB's together at times you need to keep on top of things.... but when you get some good feedback it makes it worth the work

 

I have this sorted now........

Cost of delivery for alloy and tyre package will be £25

Cost of delivery for alloys on their own will be £10

These prices are also a group buy price.

 

Hi, when can we ring julian to make the payments?

Again, thanks for all this it has gone a lot quicker than I thought it would!

Cheers

 

I'd like to see the kumho pattern too

How similar is the steel grey colour to P1 wheel colour. Can't decide between grey or gold. Got gold on a Sonic Blue scoob now but considering a change (as mentioned on OCUK SSS )

 

I was going to post this an hour ago but I'm in work here !! lol

Just let Julian know it is in relation group buy.

 

I'm trying to surf and work at the same time you beat me to it


What I would like to ask everyone is as and when you place your orders just let me know so I am able to update the list also when you have delivery can you post again so I can update further.

Let me know if everything is ok and I'll look forward to seeing a thread in the members gallery in a few weeks so we can all see what everyone has chosen.

This GB will stay running for a while yet as there is still some interest being shown so anyone that is still considering still has time to decide yet

 

Hi Edd how's you matey !!
Hope to post them up later for you it will be early evening though unless I can get access to my hosting site in work... not tried that yet so we shall see how the afternoon goes as you can tell I'm not very busy !!
OCUK good site Edd... after this relaxs a little I'll have some time to have a look around on there.

Edd the Steel Grey are quite metalicy and do change colour considerably in different lights.... only you can decide

Simon

Thanks simon for organising this !

When i think if it I'll give you a little fitting tip... buy a socket set or at least the bits you need for changing a wheel.
Personally I have a torque wrench in the boot with one socket on, this one was a tight fit so I had it turned down a mm on a lathe in work then I wrapped it in electrical tape so no marking the wheel.... then when I bought another for the ratchet I keep in there and that was was a perfect fit, wrapped tape around that as it was both from Halfords 19mm.

You can also buy alloy wheel sockets that are shrouded in plastic.

 

Hi Simon,

Just to let you know that I have ordered my wheels 5 mins ago! I'll take some pics after fitting them and post. Thanks for your input into this group buy!

Regards

Greg

Thanks again Simon and Julian

J.

PS. 18's on a newage Wagon.... that's

 

Fantastic !!!
Looking forward to seeing that J you will be upsetting the rest of the squadron mind !

And sorry guys I never had that tyre picture after I think Julian must have been side tracked a little today.

 

Very nice, I'm so tempted...! An early christmas looks on the cards..

What tyre size did you end up choosing..? (you're oem setup is the same as on my 05 WRX saloon- 215/45 17)

BTW can someone confirm the wheel/tyre weights..?
Jason

 

I will be putting my name on the list in the next couple of weeks i think, the big problem is deciding style and colour (mica blue MY00).

In my experience Kumho tyres are cheap for a reason, i will be going for the Toyos when the time comes as i don't trust cheap tyres on a car so powerful.
Just my opinion

 

Would love to get a set of these, but my tyres arent completely worn yet, but will be in a few weeks! Will this group buy still be active then?

Cheers

 

As above. how long is this group buy open for as im now looking to sell my rota tarmac IIs 17inich's for a set of 18's ?


If anybodys intrested with toyos 2000miles use only.

 

Ordered mine today. Just sorting out a delivery date, trying to get round my shifts! Top man is Julian. As is the man running the GB!!

 

Aww shucks You think your happy now wait until you see the quality of the wheels !!! .... and I mean that in a good way lol
