Default Prodrive wheels.

Hi all,

I've been offered some Pff7's at a decent price,what i was wondering was how many colours do they come in?

I thought they only came in 2,Gold and Bright Flitter.These are grey ones so not sure whether they've been imported or not.The seller has told me they do 4 colours

I really like the Bright flitter ones best personally.

Cheers

That's what i thought.

I've seen people from the US post on here and seem to remember them saying they can get different ones - not sure.

The ones on sale are grey,slightly lighter than anthracite i'd say.

Need to find a cheap supplier of the Bright Flitter methinks - i know Revoilution sell them but their website always says 'coming into stock soon'.

Will probs give them a bell....

Cheers

I quite often see them come up on fleabay in either the grey colour or the gold. Usually have a buy it now price of £1180 with tyres (Good Year I think). Not seen them come up in bright flitter yet.

They look like the real deal. Just keep searching for Prodrive on fleabay.

Not much help mate sorry.

Kind regards

Richard

Been delving a bit more and it seems you can get 'anthracite' P-ff7's in the US.

Seems they must be imported then.

Cheers

Are you sure they are not WR1 wheels ?
These were a grey colour, I believe Subaru call it Pewter.

looking on the prodrive site the pff7's come in gold and bright flitter.

but there are some jap & us one's called GC-07 which are forged instead of flow formed and they come in british black, metalic silver and british gold.

they look the same so maybe you're being offered some import ones?

anyways here the link prodrive

The WR1 wheels are the bright flitter ones IIRC.

There are a few american sites with the P-ff7's in anthracite (grey) so i guess they must be imported from there.

Seems other countries have more choice and at a greatly reduced cost (you can get them for $299 per wheel) - what a shocker eh

Cheers

The WR1 wheels are definitely darker than the bright flitter wheels but they are the old pcd 100mm.These are on ebay at the moment in anthracite but are for the newer wheel stud pcd 114mm.

you could only get these on import last year because this is the ones I wanted but it was a load of hassle so just went for the gold instead.

Also make sure you check they fit your car.

The nut spacings changed for the 2005 cars onwards. So you can't fit 2005 car PFF7 alloys to say a 2003 car.

These are OE PFF7's 100 PCD. Had these recoated. Look very good against the WR Blue, so I am told. New ones are £450 each from Subaru in Gold or Bright Flitter
