Looking for a UK re-seller of Prodrive Japan wheels, specifically GC-06D and GC-010E wheel types, both in 8 x 18. Before anyone says, i have already spoken to Prodrive in the UK and there is a minmum order of 60 wheels for them to order from Japan. Anyone help?

I'm not wanting a set (AFAIK - what do they look like? ) but doesn't 60 wheels mean 15 sets (rather than 60 sets) - how about a kicking off a group buy to get some trade going? 15 sets doesn't seem an extortionate number if you can generate some interest...

hmmmmmm - Sam gets gets the kids piggy bank out

 

PCB - forgive me for being a heathen but aren't the ones on the STi just Prodrive / OZ SuperLs with the centre radius softened / more rounded instead of a sharper corner, i.e. gives a more bowed look?

I once asked Mike Wood why the WRC wheels looked so much more beefy and he said thay there wasn't any difference to what you or I could get (yeah, right ) but the wheels were 8 or 8.5" wide to suit suspension / tyres setup etc...

Sammy - are you gonna be gutted if they only go up to 22"

could you not export from Japan and get them shipped here ??. might even save some £££. cant be that difficult.

 

Brake Neck, the 010E is different to the P1 wheel, both in design ( similar but not the same ) and in that it is forged.

sorry to go off topic but what is the front lip spoiler on the yellow car?

cheers mike

 

Yep, the GC-06Ds, GC-07Cs and the 010Es are all forged. Not sure on the 010s, but the 06s and 07s are made by Volk/RAYS for Bridgestone (the boxes my 07s came in had Bridgestone logos all over the place) to be sold as Prodrive-Japan. Simone Lines confirmed that they are, in fact, made by Volk/RAYS. My guess would be the 010s are as well.

If we are trying to make up numbers then to import, i'll go a set of 4 GC-010E wheels in Gold....

That's 8 wheels then, anyone else???

They are so much closer to the WRC car wheels than anything I have seen on the road.

Just need that suspension kit from Prodrive as well....

links and pictures, if anyones interested post on here and if theres enough interest i will talk to Prodrive, but wheels are about £350 each.

Mike wood told me this:-
"There have been two specs of 18" P-WRC1 wheel sold in the UK. The first one is the wheel as fitted to the UK300 which is ET53. The second is the same basic wheel but in ET46 to give adequate clearance for the Brembo brakes fitted to the STi model. This wheel is also painted gold but it is a slightly lighter shade (Japanese spec) and the wheel will have had a polished centre cap rather than a gold painted one".


I have two sets, the originals he mentions from my UK300 and the ones I bought from Barry in Northern Ireland (BN Performance, £1260 inc Proxies) and are the second set Mike mentions. I havent measured these with a caliper to check any differences as I dont mix em anyway.

The 010E wheel looks like fashion photo but I think it is the same. I just went and looked at both my wheels and they are the same as this, the white car has light and angle different I think thats makes it look different!

This pic on prodrive site shows the lighter color wheel.
