Ultralite wheels
Having a look at these a specifically http://www.ultralitewheels.com/atec.htm and just wondered if anyone else has had them or any of the other stlyes they do and what do you think of them?
Anybody know of dealers on the South Coast as their list is abit out of date as i think at least 2 of their dealers have been closed for a while
Piccies would be appreciated classics preferably but don't let that stop you from posting any piccies
I would use the search but it's broken

got them on my classic wagon, quality is pants, had them on the car for approx 2 years, and within 6 weeks the coating had started to flake off from the back of the wheel, selling mine and swapping to something else that fits over brembo calipers as just done a conversion and they dont fit over them.

Had 18" Atec in satin bronze on my 05 STi for nearly 4yrs and still looked good when i changed them.Got 18" Rota Gravel in gunmetal now and the i've fallen in love with my Scoob all over again.

I currently have a set of Atecs in 18" on my 04 WRX and they are great looking wheels.
Thing is though, I've had them since october and its turned out to be an expensive mistake for me. I buckled the two offside wheels at xmas time on a pothole that was covered by snow so had to replace them both.
Only last week I buckled another one hitting the smallest of potholes (the same actual pothole I hit loads of times with my old Inovit Tarmacs without a problem!) I've just ordered a set of compomotives to replace them as I cant afford to keep replacing a wheel every time I hit a hole on the road.
Seems to me the Ultralites are too soft for the sh*t quality roads of the uk. Its a shame really cos they're sweet looking wheels
