Have been eagerly waiting for a week for my wheels to come back from refurb

Got a call this morning from the refurbers
They have spent most of the last week making the rims look spotless, even made a special gold paint mixture up to give a real sparkle.....

On arrival at the workshop this morning they found the door ripped open, the place ransacked and my alloys, along with 2 or 3 other sets are gone !!!

Was due to get the car back tomorrow as well - but now i need wheels to fit over the brakes

Can anybody tell me where i can get a set of 18's to fit over the brakes ?
Ideally i dont want Rota's - would like an 8 x 18 inch rim

 

That sucks! Are the refurbers liable to replace them? Surely they have insurance for this kind of thing.

 

sorry to hear of your bad luck mate - i hope it gets sorted out

 

Bas***ds Where were they Tony? May be worth keeping an eye out if they are a special colour. Try and pm M444GY on here. He may be able to help. He works in a wheel/tyre specialist.

 

Sorry to hear about the wheels mate,hope the garage gets things sorted,at least your car is safe.

 

thats bad. shame this type of stuff happens. hope you get it sorted mate

 

The wheels were with Steve in APS - he's absolutely gutted and i'm gutted for him but its not his fault - i know he's worked bloody hard on these wheels aswell as some absolute monkey had sprayed them before

Think they took a set of M3 and RS4's also

The wheels are insured and they will be replaced for new rims but its just the wait now

 

Wheels & Tyres : Subaru Impreza Inovit Tarmac Wheels

They have others too.

Fecking scumbags. May the fleas of a thousand camels arsehole attack their faces

 

gutted for you mate, some w*nkers should have their fingers broken

 

Steve is a nice guy and I feel really sorry for him and you of course.

I am going to be taking a set of wheels up to him shortly to overhaul, he cannot do enough for his customers and now some thieving scum has set him back.

 

W*nkers Hope they are found and suffer!! Hope you get your wheels sorted soon too

 

What makes it worse is that i just paid £60 for the 4 center caps for the PFF's

 

Happened to pop into the garage today to see if the car was all back together - obviously minus the wheels - and i had a pleasant suprise.....
Dave(garage owner) has kindly lent me a set of rims he had
The whole suspension and camber still has to be set up so the wheels do look a little out

What you guys think of them ? I can't make my mind up, from some angles i like them and then from other angles i just dont know

 

Awsome wheels ,looks great

 

I quite like them. Apart from the tyre soapI think you need more open wheels though to show off the Porsche stoppers

 

Nice wheels - less spokes - more costly the wheels, you'd be looking at 4 or 5 spokes then

 

They look awesome! Lovely wheels

 

Perfect, nice solid looking rims (Compomotive?). Also loving the ride height as the tyre/wheel combo fill the arches completely.

 

I think they are called Revolution Milleniums
I've been looking at the Compomotive's but i'd have to see them on the car

 

Nice wheels, yep Revolution Milleniums they are.

 

They quite suit the car there Tony

 

I like the look of the Porsche Brembos, the car is sitting nice and low plus the wheels fill the arches perfectly.

Nice of Dave Coe to loan you a set of wheels as well, I have always found Dave and his good lady helpful and nothing is too much trouble.

 

Well the wheels have got a decent response so i've just ordered myself a set
Had them at such a good price i was tempted to order some white one's also so i could swap them about



Also had some other news today - my PFF's have turned up !!!
A friend of a friend knows the guy who has just bought them for £200 so once i come off nights this week i shall be paying them a visit

 

scoobyp1,

Just wondering where you managed to source the revolution milleniums from!?

Your car looks awesome by the way...

 

I've got a number for a guy that has managed to source them from a Rally Company
Are you interested in a set ?
There is a guy in the For Sale thread selling a set of these with tyres

 

ah see what you mean, looking good

 

Gutted for you, but glad you've managed to keep your ear to the ground and find them...

Think who ever should be watching their back's

On a high note, those wheels really suit the car. Ive seen them on a few impreza's on scoobynet especially on 2 doors.

I want a white set for my new car

 

Stunning looking Car there buddy

 

Fairfield motorsport in Bridgend is a good place to start looking

 

Latest Update::::

I have my PFF's back !!! had a phone call yesterday with a name and address, went up there and got the wheels back.
Turns out the guy paid £100 for them for his Impreza
