Has anyone got a picture of these fitted to their car?

I think Jap Performance mag fitted them to their STi.
IMHO they looked a bit naff almost like a cheap set of wheels from a lad mag.
Certainly not upto the usual "can't go wrong with prodrive" idea.

Scott t is correct

Just nip into WH Smith and leaf through this month's Japanes Perofrmance and the STi versus 360 evo write up shows them on the Sti.

They look good in the pics but terrible IMHO on the actual car. They remind me of Fox wheels on Novas

Agree with above, they look like the designer only had a couple of minutes left to reach the deadline after having a very long lunch down the pub.

What's happened? prodrive used to make some awesome wheels: PFF7's, P-WRC1's are but a few to mention.

Hmmm, I was thinking of going for a set of these, but haven't seen any on a car as yet. That set on Ebay looks remarkably cheap.

Phil, Don't do it...the comment above about Nova wheels is spot on.....
If your going to go for anything go for the new S204 wheels

Just for XRS....who has a very similar model to this, although with a very special 'T25' registration

Personally, I still don't like them. Spokes too thin and although they are 18's they don't look like it.

They'd probably look better in Gold.

PFF7's look better though.

Thumbs up. I like them! (Not the S204 ones).
