Rota Grid Drift alloys I think. They look better in bronze though I reckon.
I like PFF7's too, there are plenty of replica type wheels like them too though,
like Inovit Redline's for example.

Yes you're right - doh! should of realised from the logo. Really like these and always thought gunmetal but this is silver is good

Want to stay away from replica's due to weight of the wheels - thanks for you reply!

I can second that, I weighed an 18" Rota GRA and it was 8.9kg, It's a direct copy of the Prodrive GC-10(forged) wheel which weighs 8.6kg, So for a copy it's only 300g per wheel difference.

True but the wheels I want are the pff7's 114 fitment but the inovit wr1 copies are much heavier

Does not apply to all copies but a lot of them

Prodrive Wheels aren't particularly light, PWRC1's weight a tonne

PFF7's are a bit naff these days, done to death, they corrode more than other wheels I've had and are known to crack

What year/model scoob do you have ?
