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

 

Are you sure you are ok with this Jason ?
Give Julian a call and have a talk with him see what he thinks... I'll mention it when I call him on Monday if you don't mind.
I want everything to be 100% if possible

 

I must admit that is what struck me with my steel grey one's, they seem to change colour so much during the day... in pure sunshine they glisten then in the shade they go like the P1 alloy a deep grey, they have become a talking point with quite a few of the boys that have seen them.
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

When u speak to him on monday, tell him im pretty annoyed, after taking 2 days off work to wait for the delivery that never came 2 days on the trot. but ill be calling anyway

 

Yes I will do that for you, just as a suggestion maybe you could have them delivered to work ? that's assuming you don't travel around.
But yes I will pass this on.

Simon

 

Woohooo!!!

Wheels arrived yesterday look phat hopefully fitting them tomorrow will get some pics up gonna be polishing them tonight ready for tomorrow!

Same for me no locking wheel nuts!

Cheers simon for organising the group buy!!

 

I didn`t receive any locking nuts either.

 

Looking forward to seeing some pics! Could be tempting.

 

I gave my works address for the delivery,

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 would of done that, but I do about 100 miles a day all over the place lol

 

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.



Simon your attention to detail and having satisfied group of buyers really does need to be comended

 

Ouch!! hope thats not in the scoob you need to collect air miles..

Have you got any pics of your car or a thread some where with some ? want to dream a little as mine is just a JDM WRX..

Cheers Mick

 

NO i've got a daily drive, the scoob is garaged untill the week end. Heres some pics




Hopefully in a few days i can post pics of the new rims. My breaker bar and trolley jack are itching to go.

 

Pleased to here that Vas... I'll phone about the lockers as I said, looking forward to seeing the results to.

What it should look like after...


17 v 18...


J.

 

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

 

Here we go







Here is the thread off Imprezasport, a few more pics on there.

Clicky

 

Lovely.... but who put those 'ruber bands' on?

What profile is that tyre?

J.

 

rubber bands.... you can say that again.

They are 215/35/18's

 

They look so much smaller! Just thinking I've got 215/40/18's and they look mahoosive compared to the 35's.

J.

 

OMG speechless!! those bands are slim lol,, vey nice very very nice

 

Fitted wheels this afternoon look wicked on the motor just need to lower it 30-35mm hopefully wil do it next week!! Manage to get before and after pics!



After

 

Looking good vas that's quite a transformation

Gentlemen I've spoken to Julian earlier and yes they have simply made a hiccup and not put the lockers in with the wheels.... he will be sending them out to you in the post

Jason... you have a pm

TyPe~~R... I've spoken to Julian about your problems, he will be looking into it and expecting your call.

Simon

 

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
