So how much did the wheels ACTUALLY cost you?

$1032 including a set of 20 bolts and a set of locking ones.

GBP 360 at the current exhange rate.

Plus the same again for 4 Goodyear Eagle F1s

hhmm.. Maybe I was too subtle, how much did it cost to convince SWMBO? :P:D

Ahh, I see.

That will come later I suspect...

Well after all that, turns out they have only three in stock - wtf?!?

They offered these at the same price as a consolation

Not so keen personally.

I've come late to the party! Who makes these Rob?

That one you've just posted looks like an OZ Superleggera rip-off? Proper OZs looked super on Eddy's old estate though

That's from a company called Diezel - who don't seem to exist anywhere in the internets apart from a couple of NZ suppliers, which concerns me!

I'm really struggling to find wheels that I like in an offset that will fit :(

All the suppliers cater for the rice boys and not European cars

Have you seen anything available from BBS or OZ for reasonable money? Please, please, please buy a major known brand of wheel

Steve

BBS are too fussy.

OZ don't seem to have an NZ distributor :( The ones I can find are a bit dear!

These are lightweight but not sure on the offset for the 5x100s.

Those are a 5x114.3 Rob, so Jap fitment.

Look out for wheels suitable for the older 'classic' Impreza though, as they were 5x100. I've seen some with 30-odd offsets before.

Steve

Yeah but they also make them in 5x100. Not sure on the offset though :(

This is the problem - there's loads of Subarus here and not so many Golfs/A3s/Octavias.

Grr.

These are made in 18x8 et35

But do they import them to NZ? Dunno

Well after all that, turns out they have only three in stock - wtf?!?

Some people are so fussy about having all 4 wheels matching.

Wheels and tyres have arrived. But they forgot to order the locking nuts

I bet you're but when do we get to see some pics?

Soon! I'm not going to pick them up until I can lock them in place
