Group buy on ROTA 18" Wheels and Tyres

Gentlemen there should be lockers supplied... I'll get straight on the phone for you all on Monday morning and sort it out with Julian.
Maybe the wheels come as a fixed pack and the locks are extra so they simply could have forgot to include them.
Leave it with me

It may of happened in transit, but it's probably been there since the manufacturing stage or when they tyre was put on.

I will see Gaz's red classic tomorrow he has the same as you have got and I'm quite looking forward to seeing them in the flesh

knowing I could not guarantee any one being in, but could gaurantee me always being at work
worked well for me, and no issue with Julian for doing this.

I understand TyPe~~R's frustration with a failed (complete) delivery to date, couriers can't live with can't live without them 
Trust me you will have the first yellow STI to sport these wheels in the correct fitment place
I have to source some tyres with rim protecters, and the adjudicatots have said that wheel on the rear spoiler does not count officially on the car.
hope they turn up soon mate pretty sure they will.
Also.... got a white-ish mark on one of rims It may of happened in transit, but it's probably been there since the manufacturing stage or when they tyre was put on.
Simon your attention to detail and having satisfied group of buyers really does need to be comended

J they will suite your wagon nicely... subtle colour match for sure.
I'm in the middle of uploading some pictures of Gaz's red classic with those very same wheels so keep your eyes peeled later for those.
I must say they really look good in the flesh you made a good choice there

Guys
Julian called me this morning to arrange the order and we had to laugh.
He asked me what I wanted , I said the Tarmac II. he asked what size, I said 18's. He asked me what year the car is and we agreed on a size and spec and then finally the colour.
All going well. Gave him my delivery details, paid for the goods and then he mentioned about the problems that he has been having with TNT couriers and also about the mistake on the locking wheel nuts.
All sorted you think???
(well not quite, did you spot the obvious mistake or omission here)
Yes, we forgot the blooming tyres )
anyway we put it down to it being monday morning
and all sorted.
chhers simon for this GB, you have been a shining beacon of professionalism and can now officially have a GB sticker on the back of your car
