Question Prodrive Wheels

Hey guys, I wanna get some new wheels for my classic, and am havin a nightmare trying to choose which ones I like!! I'm getting to like the Inovit Redlines, or Rota SDR's, which are both replicas of the Prodrive PFF7's if I'm right? Well I was just looking around the net, and I saw an impreza that said it had "Prodrive P7" wheels on. Has he just typed that wrong? Or is there such a thing? I did a search for them, and these came up......



Which.....I actually prefer to the PFF7's!! The only thing I'm not sure about with the PFF7's, is that they curve very slightly if y'know what I mean? Whereas those P7's are flat....I think? Maybe it's just the angle of the pic, and they are actually PFF7's lol. I dunno! If they do exist, what imprezas were they on? Cuz I've never seen em before! And also, does anyone know of any wheels that are similar? As in, replicas of them?

Cheers in advance for your help guys

Found a set of PFF7's and P7's and you can see the difference.....



Those are the PFF7's, which altho I really like, they kinda seem a bit thin & spindly to me. And I don't like the way they curve like I said earlier. The P7's seem much flatter, and the spokes are also chunkier......



If only they weren't like £205 each from subaru....without tyres!!!

P7's are correct but think they only go upto 17" and are heavier than PPF7's. They are a lot chaeper though and some bargins to be had on ebay on new ones.

Cheers for all your replies guys!! Cheers for the pics, much appreciated Yeah I love the P7's, they look really nice on a classic I reckon. They are cheaper than the PFF7's? The only P7's I could actually find anywhere on the internet lastnight were ones from subaru dealers, and I'm sure they wanted like £205 per wheel....WITHOUT tyres! The only other places I could find em just said out of stock, or discontinued, so I'm thinking they're gonna be a bugger to get hold of! Especially as I want em in silver. There's one set on the whole of ebay (that I can find anyway) and they are in america and the guy won't ship to the uk so I will have to keep my eye out for a set now!

I may be selling mine in the next couple of months...haven't decided whether to keep them as track wheels or not. An old pic but you get the idea

That.....is.....absolutely.....beautiful!!! You've officially made my mind up dude! I have gotta have those wheels! But in silver. So cheers for the offer trails, but the dark ones aren't for me sorry I will just have to keep an eye out for a silver set!! Are the prodrive logos on them stickers? Or are they actually printed on the wheel somehow? Just wondering, cuz out of all the pics of them in this thread so far, marcus7 is the only one to have the logos on, and I actually quite like em! I work for a sign company anyway, so if I eventually find a set that haven't got logos on, I can always make me own
