Default Cheap alloys.....Whats the catch?

These are replicas to the P-FF7 alloy wheels, to buy them from a dealer with tyres your looking at the best part of £1700.

They are heavier than the prodrive ones and not as strong due to how they are made, oh and they don't have prodrive moulded into them.

Apart from that they are fine. A couple of people have had cracked spokes but that appears to be only one make of copies and those aren't them.

I've had a set on mine for 20 months now and they've been great.

Its the difference between the middle of the wheel and the attacthment bearing surface - impreza poss all subaru have a BIG offset
