Default Prodrive PFF7 Wheels. How many want some?

Looking to see how much interest there is in how many people want some 18" Prodrive PFF7 wheels of the WR1 to fit upto a 05 plate I think PCD100. I want a set for my STI. I just purchased a MY03 STI after missing my bugeye wrx I sold a few year ago. I fancied putting the PFF7 on this too only to find out they are discontinued and like rocking horse poo to get hold of. So I've tried various sources with no luck.
So today I spoke to Prodrive direct and none available. The guy forwarded a suggestion that he gets quite few enquiries for these wheels. He's put the idea forward that if they can get enough orders for 250 wheels minimum, ideally 300. Basically a container full and enough of a order for Speedline to produce them to make it worth there while then they would do this. I know lot of wheels but just wondering how much interest there is. They can be in any of the previous colours.
Any interested post on here.
Cheers Andy

He said if there is enough interest to buy them he will speak with speedline and sort a price out probably around the same mark as before. They were around £200 a wheel before I think. I will give it a few days and if enough people are interested I will get in touch and see if they can give more of an idea.

would it not just be easier for you to buy a set from the private for sale section there are a few sets on there as 250-300 is alot and at £200 a wheel without tyes is gonna be well over double what they are going for

I'd be up for this, I'll post a link on the WR1 forum and see if that draws any interest. 300 wheels sounds a lot but it's only 75 sets and there were 500 WR1's made in the UK.

I thought they only made them in 18's...which would mean you are running on cheap wheels?!?

For those that require the 114pcd go here:-
http://www.just-subaru.com/wheels-special-79345-0.html
According to that they are still selling them and they are a damn sight cheaper than paying original prices!
imho Oz wheels are better at that kinda money around 275 a wheel.

One of my replicas failed last month, a crack right across one of the spokes. You could see daylight through it. I can,t recollect going down any potholes aswell. Steve.

The wheels for sale at Revolution seem to be a good buy.
