This Subaru has 18x12 wheels and 5x100 hub. I have not heard that he would have been some problems with the bearings.

I suppose i am in a reasonably decent position, my friend and i are handy enough to not need a body shop to fit these, so the work is essentially free,

XXR 521's come in at £600
Arches in at around £300 if not a little bit less perhaps
I have tyres knocking about so not a problem
Then just paint.. so maybe a couple hundred?

So 1K or there abouts..

Even if it was a bit more, as long as ben is able to produce something that isn't far off the originals then its a good deal.

That shouldnt be a problem I already have some sets lined up that should be coming in early into the new year. The more people we have on this list the cheaper I will be able to do them so spread the word and i'll help out as best I can with discounts

Would think that my 9.5 inch wheels would not be enough for these bad boys!!!


Would you be looking at 255/40/18 as a minimum???

IIRC most of the lads in America run a 295 wide tyre. A 9.5" wheel would look lost, unless it had a negative offset which would be crazy

I'll have a look about see what I can find, it'd be handy to find out where it comes from first.

You will be able to have 18x10/18x11 and its recommended you have at least 10.5 +15.

1. Badbadleeroybrown - Bugeye
2. Psyge - Blobeye
3. Fraser - Bugeye (blob rear)
4. 6VOLT - Blobeye
5. Anger- Blobeye
6. Johnnybon - Blobeye
7. Robthompson719 - blobeye
8. SCOOBYD00 - Blobeye

I will post up details of prices once the flares arrive. I will require at least 6 people interested in each model (bug/blob/hawk) before I make a start on the project, this is because each set requires different moulds. Once I have 6 people I will ask each person with that model for a £50 deposit. Once the moulds are complete I will invoice for the remainder of the balance and then send out the flares, this could take a while depending on our workload so please be patient

Group buy rates will be based on the overall list (all models), once I have prices worked out I will be able to let you know how much discount can be offered

Hope that makes sense guys

will you be fitting up a pair of the original arches to a blobeye to ensure that they fit correctly first before moulding?

Need a car?

I'm very interested, need to check with Ryan the cost of painting etc. Need to find out if the hawkeye version can modded to fit a custom bumper, other newage versions maybe better

Looking like you have fitted Wagon/GX wings and only one way how to get it flared is to fit WRX/STI wings with the bumper
