Sequel To Which Wheel Thread .. Need More Opinions Pls!

[Scooby Wagon Addict]

Hi people,

Thank you to all the replies regarding helping me chose which wheels for my WR Blue WRX wagon .

Now for the past 2 weeks I have been phoning and emailing companies up and down the country looking for wheels and not getting anywhere!

I never realised how hard it was for me to have to pleasure in buying a set of wheels!

The choice was Inovit Redlines in Black , Tarmacs in Gunmetal or Kei Force 10 Matt Black ..any of these in 17".

SO .. Inovit wheels of any sort .. not a chance! Seems Inovit just aren't importing as many wheels as they used to. Only ones available are gold Redlines. Tried M4GGY on Scoobynet but he can't help either.

Kei? Nope.. dont make them in 17"s .. only in Hyperblack which IMO is still silver-looking and wouldn't suit the car

It seems to be common practice that all your Alloy wheel companies take your money and then order from the manufacturer.

Now I'm stuck ..cant believe I have a credit-card to burn + permission from the Mrs and I cant get wheels anywhere!

As said before tho I can get a set of 17" Gold Redines but not sure if that would go .

Tried going for Rota SDRs in Gunmetal .. 6 - 8 week waiting list

Anyone any sugestions? Other wheel suggestions?

Or should I just shut up and stop moaning!

Thanks for listening to my rant..

Over and out..

Steve

Have you tried Revolution or even Fleabay?

[lewisscoob]

yep revolution milleniums like these would look good...

the dark gunmetal/graphite.black would suit i think...

[Scooby Wagon Addict]

The Milleniums are nice, really nice... but on a Wagon?

...no' so sure

[sti pretender]

Have you tried Alloy Mania/Motorsound at Battlefield, Alan can usually source most alloys.

[Scooby Wagon Addict]

yeah you to, I have a small list to call on monday and will give you a bell in the afternoon, the dare wheels are next to gone as they were discontinued in all colours except red (Must be a jap thing)

[Gorbash12346]

dare wheels are very soft, imo avoid

[scoobywho]

dare wheels are very soft, imo avoid

correct they are very soft and poorly made wheels corrode within the years warranty

[Scooby Wagon Addict]

Well that's 1 off the list Thanks guys

In my head I really want the Kei F10 in Matt Gunmetal but unless someone finds old stock there's no chance of them as they're not made in 17s any more. Rota SDRs are closest to Redlines and Inovit Tarmac are a last resort.. Scrub that, someone in Paisly is selling a set of Gold STi7 17s on Ebay ,but typical Ebay they're going for stupid money,plus I'm not particularly wanting gold so would have to powdercoat them..totalling over £400 for a set of 2nd hand wheels..don't think so..

Scoobywho .. look forward to hearing from u ..as early as possible pls

[seafar99]

I've got a spare set of Kei Force 10's in 17" sitting with Continental Run Flat tyres. If you want to try them to help you make your mind up

then PM me. (could possibly be persuaded to sell)

I waited 2 months for gunmetal redlines - 18"!

Dealing with Inovit is a no-no as they are useless; don't return calls, ignore emails, etc. I dealt with Scoobyworld who managed to get me them cheaper and they came straight from the manufacturer!

Scoobyworld said they also had problems dealing with Inovit in this country.

By the time I got the wheels and fitted tyres I sold the car 4 weeks later anyway!
