YES, I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE UK 300 WHEEL WILL NOT FIT THE NEW STI TYPE UK. I TRIED TO BUY THESE AND FIT THEM BUT THE BRAKE CALLIPERS ON THE STI TYPE UK ARE MUCH LARGER AND RUB AGAINST THE WHEEL. YOU NEED TO BUY THE WHEELS VIA A DEALER OR PRODRIVE DIRECT WHO HAVE DESIGNED THE IDENTICAL WHEEL TO THE UK 300 OR P1 BUT WITH A WIDER FIT. £1800 GULP. WELL WORTH IT THOUGH

Update on the wheels guys
bad news, might not be able to get them now cause i think somebody is not to happy at somewhere about us selling the wheels at an 'affordable' price, think this somebody is trying to put a block on the supplier getting there hands on some more so that they wont be available anywhere else,
will know the final outcome tomorrow
but if they do stop the wheels on you all money will be refunded straight away or can be put towards another set of oz wheels and tyres
sorry guys about this, but it's not me to blame for this one!
it's looking like you might have to pay that £1900 after all(GULP).
GIVE US A RING SOMETIME AFTER 2 OCLOCK TOMORROW (THUR) AND WE WILL KNOW FOR SURE!!

I spoke to Barry the other night. He's had a lot of hassle but the wheels are on their way to Ireland now and these will be the final sets to be brought in by Barry. They should arrive i understand around the end of the week and then distributed accordingly.

YES JUST CONFIRMING THE WHEELS ARE EVENTUALLY ON THERE WAY THIS TIME AFTER ALOT OF UNDUE HASSLE WAS CREATED BY SOMEBODY!
SO CHEERS EVERYBODY WHO SNAPPED THEM UP WHEN THE GOING WAS GOOD BUT THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS PRICE ANYMORE BUT I BELIVE THEY ARE STILL AVAILABLE FROM PRODRIVE OR YOUR LOCAL SUBARU DEALER AT £1800 OR SOMEHING LIKE THAT!
MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET ONE OR TWO SETS EXTRA IF ANYBODY WAS INTERESTED BUT THAT IS NOT DEFINATE

Any of you guys buying the 18" Prodrives got a set of 17" gold alloys from your WRX you are interested in selling me ?
I'd prefer to buy with tyres but they would need to be 215s rather than the STi 225s as the wheels are for my 1998.(although I'll happily buy just wheels if need be)
Cheers

Where is everyone getting these silly £1800 - £1900 prices from Subaru/Prodrive.
I bought a set of the Genuine 18" OZ Prodrive wheels through my dealer with 225/40x18 BF Goodrich Tyres for £1355.00

£1355 WITH BF GOODRICH! AND YOU THINK YOU GOT A GOOD DEAL? DID YOU GET A QUOTE FOR THE PACKAGE WITH A PROPER TYRE LIKE TOYOS T1S GOODYEAR F1'S OR SOMTHING ELSE THAT MIGHT WORK WHEN YOU GO INTO A CORNER HARD OR YOU HAVE TO STOP SUDDENLY BEHIND ANOTHER CAR TO SAVE THE FRONT OF YOUR SCOOBY AND NOT PAY A RISE IN INSURANCE NEXT TIME IT COMES ROUND BECAUSE OF THE CLAIM TO FIX BOTH CARS. CHEAP TYRES DONT ALWAYS COME CHEAP!

Hi Barry
Tried to phone you earlier today but your phone is red hot. Are my wheels going off? :-) I see my cheque has cleared my account today. I wanted to get them before Easter please if I can.
And many thanks.

Hi Mark,
I have mine on the car now and they do come with Prodrive centre caps, (says Prodrive by OZ), and they have OZ Racing transfers around the rim in black. They also have Prodrive Cast into the rim.
Barry also shipped me a set of wheel nuts.
Give him a bell, I wouldn't have thought the tyre size would make much difference. Be careful on tyre size on a <MY00 as they may rub, especially if you have the car lowered.
