Naturbo2000 - nice wheels! Mind you - you are going to have to remove the suspension and bend the back axle to get that look!

Are they Team Dynamics Diablo?
I have been considering them or Oz Superleggara for MY03 STI..
Not sure which ones to go for.
What made you choose these?

I wanted Diablos for a while, but they're just a little too plain


Superleggra's *should* be the better choice (much lighter apparently), but they're too common

The ones I've photoshopped onto mine are BK Racing 299s, cos I like the look of BBS and split rims.

There was a 3 door scoob in blue with these rims on at one of the Reading meets. I can confirm that the wheels looked awesome and really suited it. Be careful with BK rims though, I have had problems with the chrome finish flaking and dirt getting into the alloy underneath. BK are not the easiest people to get replacments out of either! These are probably not a rim you want to run in the winter due to the salt on the road.

Hope I haven't put you off, they do look very nice, but need looking after!

Cheers

Nik

Thanks for the info - might want to keep my old wheels around then (I'll tell 'er indoors )


Oh and the funny bent-suspension thing is there in the original photo... But not if you look at the car... Must be a funny with the lighting/angle

£50 extra for gold and £50 extra for decent tyres i think not,if your happy youve paid £1250 then so be it.
Wheel mania will do them exact wheels for £900 with Toyo's fitted.

Trousers down cough cough and bite. LOL

As i said if you want to give your hard earned away without looking around at prices then so be it,dont be fooled by a supplier being a Subaru specialist as they cant match the prices of alloy wheel dealers.
Your giving away £350 and you call me a c#nt, who's the STUPID c#nt now.

I'm not giving away anything! BK Racing are out of stock - I have no order - I will now have no order until at least the new year.

But why would it bother YOU how much of MY "hard earned" cash I choose to throw away?

I'd like to think that you've been offering a fellow Scoobynetter a few friendly words to make sure I got the best deal - but I'm not sure I can see anything of the sort in any of your posts!

Chill guys!

Andy - they have a point that the difference will pay for your Backbox - so go do a bit more research and see if you can buy elsewhere for less .....

Remember - otherwise I am going to be 2 Fast 4 U!!

Soz - Looking back at the posts, I guess I did go a little overboard, but look - I haven't actually spent a penny yet!

(although the though of trying to find 19s in Gold is a good one - no BK don't do them )
