Default Anyone fiitted Prodrive P7's to a newage

Still thinking of what to change my standard MY06 WRX wheels for, cannot quite stretch PFF7's at the moment and want something different. The P7's are 17" so I can just swop my tyres over and I'm ready to go.

If anyone has any pictures that would be great.

Thanks

Have thought of those but would always want the real items, apart from that then I'd go for 18's which is a road I don't want to go down, one because the missus would not be impressed with the price of 18's and secondly all the cars I've seen with 18's look like they need lowering, again something I want to stay clear of as it scraps in places anyway on the local roads!!

Defo going for 17's but want something a bit different, currently waiting to here back on some speedlines that I'm intyerested in.

Replicas + Prodrive centre caps would fool a few. The above price was for 18's, so you'll get a better price on 17's.

But speedlines are nice!

Cheers Gaz, these are the speedlines that I'm after, the P7's were a second choice. Not sure what these are going to look like on a newage but thought I'd buy them anyway and can always sell them on, they are similar to the RB5 wheel but were made for the JDM market in a small number so are pretty rare.

If not though the replica's with badges is another option.

Cheers
Arron

I managed to get the last set that I could find, I must have phoned 20 suppliers and even Inovit themselves, I've been told the Uk are out of stock and should be getting a delivery in 5/6 weeks. POTN seemd quite good but again are out of stock at the moment.

I got a similar response when i kerbed the original alloys. Was met with a fit of hysterics, saying "At least i wasn't first to hit 'em", followed by "well you wanted some new ones anyway"

Gaz,

Can't find those on Wheelbase - Number One for Alloy Wheels and Tyres, Nationwide Next Day Delivery, International Delivery Available

Where'd you get that price / details?

They do silver (which i got), gold and anthracite (i think it's called dark something-or-other). They are darker than the bright flitter original PFFs. I thought too dark for a black car.

You spoke to them yet?
