I've just bought something!!!!!!
 

Just ordered a set of these :D

17" Gunmetal.

Tyres on my car are barely road legal and the groupbuy was too good to resist, should be able to sell my old alloys on Ebay for a little bit of cash.

So the difference between the groupbuy and having to buy replacement tyres will be next to nothing :D :D

I like :thumb: :D

Nice Alex, Rota's are massive in the states and ultra lightweight.

:D

very nice buddy!!!!
nothing like treating yourself for the new year!

:D:D see your text mate... no problem i called and told him not to worry....

I bought a set of the tarmacs in gunmetal, like you say price is so good its like getting tyres for free :notworthy :notworthy

You got them fitted yet? Show us a pic :D

Very similar but not Rota, they are made by Inovite. They are lighter than my standard 16" wheels though :D I wanted some WR1 prodrive's but could justify that sort of money.

Thanks for you time mate, I'll buy you a beer at the HWH :D

As soon as they arrive and I get them fitted I'll post a pic or two :D

:notworthy :notworthy

I need some new tyres soon so will be on a quest for some new paws soon :norty:

This is the groupbuy I went through :D

Not had chance yet, car is too dirty :(

Only got pic of one wheel on my phone, will be at the posers on Saturday though:)

Halfway House on the 12th for me :D

Will have them fitted by the weekend :D

I nearly went for the Rota 18"'s in a group buy in Nov, but my missus baulked at the suggestion :mad:

Am conjuring up ways to persuade her otherwise as reckon I could get a few quid for the std 17" STI wheels like you suggest on Ebay or similar.

See you seen to admire your work:thumb:

My girlfriend wasn't too happy, BUT I am the man of the house!! Only joking!! or am I ?!?! No, I am really (joking).

Took a while to persued her that it actually made sense. But if I get OK money for my old wheels it will only work to be about £25 per corner for new alloys over what I was going to pay for tyres anyway!!

+ the fact that when we went shopping (for her) I kerbed one of my alloys, not too badly but I was pissed off at the time, she then stopped the dissapproving comments! :luxhello:

Ebay is going to be full of old scooby alloys soon :lol1:

Hoping that someone will want to upgrade the look of their 5 spoke with the latter 6 spoke 16" alloys :D

Seen a few selling, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Thats the colour I'd like mine to be!

Your car will look great with those on Alex, well done mate!!

yeah I know! :D

Got your spoiler fitted yet mate?

Gonna look great Alex..

Im still saving for my wheels :(

Nice one Alex

Sales from the DVD Went well then :D

Tiny...

Spoiler is on and sprayed (just the end's) - I love it!!

Off to Scoobyclinic tomorrow (leaving at 4:30am, so feels like today!!!)

Broke the gearbox 3 weeks ago following Betts, so been sitting on the drive over Christmas - I have washed and waxed it 3 times so far, really gagging to drive it again - been driving my Dad's 1.25 Fiesta cos he won't let me use his V6 Omega, can't think why :wonder: :lol1:

Car is on the trailer and getting pulled by my mates V8 Discovery with 2" lift and 300 mudplugger tyres, mucho fun off road!!

Hopefully driving the Scoob home with fresh P1 box, new rear discs and pads, and maybe a bigger shopping list :brickwall

See you soon mate

Thankfully yes :D

Only covering just over half the cost though..... every little helps!

So when do we get to see your big plans come into effect??

Driving back today? :thumb:

I'll let you take me out for a spin :D

Just got a phone call from my mum and dad saying that my wheels have arrived :D

Ordered yesterday arrived today TOP work :D :D (26 hour turn around) :eek2:

Really chuffed, can't wait to pick them up and get them back to mine. Might have to leave work early today.

And here they are :D
