Question So what happened to the 500 pairs of WR1 wheels ?

As title folks...

What happened to the 500 odd pairs of WR1 wheels and tyres that the cars were rolling on before they got upgraded at prodrive ?

They were supposedly STi alloys in dark grey with the REO70 tyres - so who got them all ?

Prodrive ? or who ?

Can any one PLEASE direct me to the secret stash of WR1 wheels ?


Names and numbers would be cool

Thanks

My local dealer has sets for sale (Aberdeen) .. needing £587 (or thereabouts for them) and this includes a free STi backbox

They are also sticking them on Impreza sports and a kind of dealer special. They are graphite with the RE070 tyres.

Avayln.

Thumbs up YES !!!

Got a set sent from "Aberdeen - Town & Country" for £ 620 inclusive (with 24 hr courier to my door.)

To say I'm pleased would be an understatement.

Well done to Neil 'oop thar.

Plenty been on Ebay recently, as a set on the other week, brand new but no tyres for a bargain £175! I would have bought them, but I think 3 sets of wheels is probably enough!
P.S they are same as the gold STi wheels, 17x7.5 take a 225 tyre, or a 215 would fit.

Hi there John T.

I'm just on the wrong side of the border from you mate but would be interested in those wheels if you could let me know which dealer got them in?

It's actually Gates Tyres in Carlisle, apparently there are 100 sets still out there to be had!
