They look the dogs. Cant wait to fit them
Thanks to Tasberley for organising this.

Just one question, have others been getting a set of locking nuts?

What about people who are living abroad? Like in Holland? Are they allowed to participate and how will they get their wheels in Holland?

Very good price on this groupbuy!

Can only agree with everyone else have ordered and recieved my set of 17" Gold tarmacs, they are great, top service from Midland!!!

Markswrx,

I also didnt recieve any locking nuts, This may sound a bit strange but mine needed an adapter to fit the nuts due to the fact you couldnt get a socket around them as they were to close to the actual alloy when you tighten them, Maybee they class this as locking nuts but I would doubt it.

Anyone else shed some light on the locking nut query??

Thanks for the reply big xavier, some pics would be great.

I didn't get any locking nuts either, but not complaining as
i am realy pleased with this group buy. I might try & turn the
supplied hexagon socket nuts into locknuts somehow,

Nor did I! Had to use my old tatty ones for the time being. More than impressed by everything else though.

Hi there,

Just found out about this group buy .... hopefully im not too late!!

Looking for a set of 18" Redlines for my RB5 but dont want anything too dark.

Is the second picture of the tarmacs and the second picture of the redlines the same colour?? .... gunmetal (dark silver)

Also, are the wheels on this gorgeous car the same colour .... http://bbs.sidc.co.uk/attachments//DSC00111.JPG .... they look a bit darker! Ive been looking through some of the other pictures of cars with gunmetal wheels and they do look a lot darker than the pictures on the opening page .... are some of these maybe the hyper black??

Please help!! .... before I order a set of these lovely wheels!!

Cheers,

Norm.

i was unsure about the dark wheels on mine, but i'm really happy with it now there on. car drives real well on 18's as well, incase anyone is having doubts about the bigger size.

does anyone have eibachs fitted with 18's on there classic? would like to bring mine down a bit but don't want a bouncy ride. i use the car daily on b-roads and could do without feeling every bump or dip in the road.

cheers rob
