Default Recommend me some Wheels for my Blobeye

Afternoon All

Im looking to buy some new wheels for my 06 Blobeye STI, i had my eyes on a set of Prodrive PFF-7's in Gold or anthracite but prodrive have now stopped making this wheel and only have silver stock left, i also tried revolution but they only have bright flitter. anyone know anywhere with stock left?

if not i need some new ideas preferably with pics on blue blobeye plz

should also note i don't want cheap copies like inovit redlines.

thanks

Take a look in my garage mate PFF7' they were bright flitter but had them respayed matt black, also to just back up what m444gy said i had the inovit redlines in gold for a while then sprayed white and they were a great wheel with no problems. I then got chance at these PFF7's around tyre renewal time so snapped them up

Haven't had any problems with my Inovit Redlines.. 18*7.5 on a V4 Type R.

That said, I am looking into a set of Advan RS... these definitely do not fall into the bracket of 'cheap copies'.

Mate, Inovit Redlines look great but I did buckle one on a pothole (big) but even before that at speed they didn`t feel right (slight shake on steering).
Been looking for a week now on the net and on here.
Rota GRA`s look good and thinking Grid Drifts.
Found this www.revolution247.com . Then go to customer gallery which shows scoobs with different wheel types.
Kev.

Hey mate.Have looked at all wheels for my crystal grey blobeye STi Type UK.On Revolution Motorstores website you can view all colours of Rota GRA.I think i will go for Gunmetal coz they are dark but still stand out.

Hi

As mentioned we no longer have any PFF7's left in Gold in the 5x114 stud pattern for the '05 On STi models. There are no more going to be available as the wheel is no longer in production, we took the last of the stock from the factory. We have a few sets left in the Bright Flitter colour left if anyone wants a set we are doing £100.00 off the website price for Scoobynet members.

Also if anyone is looking at Rotas or any other make of wheel/wheel and tyre package just give me a bell and I will see if I can't do some Scoobynet discount.

Thanks

Keith

Well

I do apologise!
I did keep a single set aside for you personally, I even took them home with me every night to make sure nobody else sold them but I got tired of waiting for you to order them so had to let them go after 6 months or so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Found the website thanks, but they are 5x114 PCD so no good for me.
I spent that long thinking about em it was too late. Something i have always done just lately! LOL. I will keep looking as i have my eye on Oz, Rota, amongst a few!
Its just that PFF7's for that price was a bargain i was mad to miss.

Speedline Turinis are a much better looking wheel than those pff copies
