Looks very nice BODSKI - very nice indeed.

Still can't make up my mind if the white tarmac's would look good on a red blob-eye

Go for silver or gold, white looks tacky in my opinion.

I also think newage cars look better with redlines rather than tarmacs.

As previously stated only my opinion.

I have silver tarmacs on my classic and love them to bits. They look the dogs danglies.

Default WOW what a deal

Ordered my set of Gold 18" Redlines with 225/40/18 tyres yesterday morning and received them at lunchtime today. What stunning wheels, they even came with carbon look centres with Midland Wheels on them. Fantastic price and service. Thanks to Ashley

Are the last 2 pictures of the Redlines, the 'silver' ones?

If so, are these wheels having a polished surface, or does the paint has a nice glow on it?

Very important because polished isn't staying 'good' in bad weather conditions.

Called Midland this morning, they were very helpful and have sorted out an exchange for the correct wheel PCD to fit my MY05 WRX. This is an unfortunate mistake and it is the way in which they propose a fuss free solution, they really are a quality set of guys. many thanks to all.

Just got my 18" white tarmac's delivered

Ordered them on Friday but got a call yesterday saying the wheels hadn't left Midland yet due to a shortage of the wheel nuts.

Arrived about 10.30am this morning, well-packaged and complete with all the nuts & wheel key etc - excellent service

Thanks to Rich @ Midland and Tasberley for setting this up.

Will post up pics once I get round to fitting them

I got my 17" Black Tarmac's fitted on Satuarday, they look brillant on my black classic, very stealthy.....except for the bright red sti mudflaps. I'll post some pics when I get them sorted out.

Suprised though, there are each 2kg heavier than the originals wheels, but much more grip in the corners, so it a fair trade off.

Excellent service, Rich is a top bloke.

Cheers.

Weighed my Revolution 18's/tyres against the original 17" Speedlines/tyres and the new wheels are actually 1.4kg lighter per wheel/tyre!! .... quite pleased with that!
