Whats happened to them? Placed an order 2 months ago and have been told it could be another 8 weeks before delivery, if that!
Is there a problem with the manufacture of the 7x17 or just a shortage at present? Should I get some Speedline Turini's instead?

Try Wheelbase(http://www.wheelbasedirect.co.uk) I tried everywhere, then phoned them. They had Gold 18's on the shelf and I got them next day, great price too!

Ordered from Revolution, prices start about £860 including tyres, locks and care kit. Got a deal for £920 including 215/40 toyo T1-S. Decided to get Speedlines instead and going to change my order today.

When I made some enquires about these wheels on Saturday at Revolution in Newcastle, I was told that OZ were having production difficulties. I was quoted a delivery date in 2004! Haven't checked anywhere else yet, but this thread seems to confirm that there is a problem.

Ade.

Originally ordered them from Revolution and told the same thing so decided on the Speedline Turini wheel. I think this 'flow formed' and therefore weighs about 7kilos for the 7x17, get them on Wednesday woo hoo!

OZ are changing the way in which they are making the Superleggaras. Therefore a delay is to be expected in all sizes.

The 18" superleggara is being re-released in a new fitment of 18" x 7.5" (as this is a more popular fitment in Europe) which will fit both new and traditional Imprezas. These will be expected towards the end of the year.

There are still plenty of sets of the 18" Matt Tuner Silver Superleggaras in stock and the Prodrive wheels are also available
in Gold.

Hope that helps!!
