It's taken me literally weeks to make the decision to sell them - nearly changed my mind again this afternoon when I took one out it's box to take the pics!

And shipping them safely by courier would be no problem.

Cheers, Neil

I'm selling them because, believe it or not, I have 2 sets of them, although the 2nd set are a different colour. My dilemma has been which set to keep and which set to sell - not an easy decision as they're both smokin' hot! In an ideal world I'd keep both but I can't afford to do that unfortunately.

And for another few hundred you can have them in this colour, maybe, if you have an in at Prodrive.

Seriously though, they cost me a chunk more than I'm asking for them but as I'm aware of the discount price I didn't feel it fair to ask for more.

So you are aware of the discount but ask for more due to the special colour?!

For someone to buy it from you rather than prodrive you must give an incentive.
Good luck with the sale
Why would I need an in at Prodrive to buy them at the same price you are selling?!
Not trying to be funny but your argument doesn't make sense.

They are only available from Prodrive in Silver! I had to pay several hundred pounds more to have them in this colour.

You could always buy the wheels now and worry about tyres later - seeing as how you're up here anyway!

They're brand new and were painted from new (via Prodrive) in official Prodrive Matt Anthracite. They're the only set out there in this colour.

They're forged monoblock, not usual cast, so super strong and they weigh 8.3 Kg / 18.25 lbs each. Manufactured for Prodrive by Rays Engineering in Japan.

The centre caps are also a work of art. Machined billet aluminium, anodised black and with real carbon fiber centre piece with Prodrive embedded in it.

Also includes new aluminium valves with Prodrive branded caps and billet hubcentric rings.

Argueably one of the strongest, lightest, best looking wheels available for the hatch and in this colour are absolutely unique.

I'm looking for circa £1400 for the set.

Cheers, Neil








I would take these off your hands in a shot but as has been said, I can buy a brand new set from Prodrive and get them painted (by the same place Prodrive use, just not via them) for £1400 myself, and that includes delivery to my door...

Hope you get what you need/want for them, but if you have no luck selling them and are happy to do a bit of a better deal send me a PM mate

I have a huge bolt through one of my 330s tyres which is unrepairable surprisingly. All my local suppliers are saying Dunlop do not retail these tyres! I'm shouting at Subaru but has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone managed to source SP Sport 600 245/40 R18 93 W (Dunlop)?

My worse alternative is to replace both rears for more all weather type of tyres what would anyone recommend? I can get the impression Subaru don't want people to buy the Hatch almost like self destruct!

I'm well cheesed off.

UPDATE: My dealer has tracked some down in Germany but will take 4 working days to get here I wonder how much they are going to cost the price of two new rears as an all weather?
