Cheapest place to buy some Prodrive PFF7 copies???
 
I already have a set,but this morning,i found a crack through one of the spokes.Don't know how it happened,but its a hairline crack from the front to the back:eek:
Anyway,am after a replacement 18" wheel for an 02 wagon -preferably singular and with or without tyre.I thing the copies are Inovit redline
Can anyone reccommend a cheap place to buy???
Cheers:thumb:

My copies are Redlines.
If you have real PFF7's I'd only consider replacing like for like otherwise you'd probably end up with an unbalanced and potentially dangerous car.

If the others are all Redlines it's a difficult one - you don't often see people flogging just the one - I guess it's breakers and ebay... good luck.

Cracks in PFF7 copies was the subject of a thread on here some time ago (maybe a couple of years)
It's the "Flowforming" casting process that allows the light weight whilst retaining strength on the genuine Speedlines. The copies are not flowformed. You get what you pay for!

I thought a load of these copies failed with cracks?

They did. Werent there two different principal brands: one which failed and one which faired better?

IMHO cast wheels are crap. Had a set on my last car and ended up with cracks everywhere. They were heavy too. I'd go for flow formed anyday now. Stronger and lighter too.

You do get what you pay for.Thanks for the replies and i'll do a bit of homework before i buy :thumb:
