Default Let's see your XXR's!

Following on from the recent closed group buy thread I though I would start a photo thread for when people get their wheels fitted!

Let's see em then!

Mine before fitting to my 06 WRX:



Will post a pic or 10 when finally fitted.

Wheels look good but everyone has them these days as they are cheap , ok for the stance look but not so good on the practical side and I bet they are heavy

Not too bad actually. No heavier than my Innovit Redline 18s at a guess.

We organised our group buy through www.japshop.co.uk and they were very helpful indeed and keep a lot in stock. Speak to Guy.

Alternatively you can contact Mags from here (User name: M444GY) who supplies them. Nice guy too!

Ok it will be a while before i fit my wheels on my car as i have already driven back to greece and the wheels arrived 3 days after i left. So they will sit in my brother in laws garage until i drive up to the uk again. Thank god he only has a bug eye wagon. There is no way he could nick them lol.

I would like to thank everyone who participated in the gb, japshop for their generousity and the Banter gang for making us laugh. But the biggest thanks go to Andy . If it wasn't for him we would still be poking each others eyes out over who we would buy our wheels from. Thanx buddy. The wheels are looking good boys. I think we should all meet at castle coomb in september. That is the earliest i can bring my baby up to the uk unfortunately. .

Cheers mate! Thanks also to you for somehow getting Guy to agree to that amazing price! Even Guy said he wasn't sure how he agreed to that deal.

Gonna take me a while to get these fitted to my car I suspect.

God only knows mate! Have to get 1 set of tyres from my spare wheels swapped over, then fit the camber bolts and get the tracking & camber set up.

Have a 10 month old son & expensive wife that demand my time along with a crazy non-stop job. Hopefully have them fitted in the next month or so if I can. Springs been on my car for years now and good ride height so I'm relatively sure it will be ok.

As it is on s-tech springs currently:

heres mine,just had a fast road set-up @ scoobyclinic as they were scrubbing a bit on the rears.i didnt want to raise the ride height as it sits nice but they still scrub on the drivers side (not suprised with me sat in it) so will have the arches rolled next.

glad everybody got sorted out on the group buy and there was no problems
