Racing Snake Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Sorry Gus working down South and haven't got my camera with me. All I'll say is you won't be disappointed []
gus the bus Posted February 16, 2006 Author Posted February 16, 2006 I'm looking forward to them arriving on Monday/Tuesday[]....or tomorrow if the couriers are smart![]
col666 Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Gus, Where you getting these wheels from? Col.
gus the bus Posted February 17, 2006 Author Posted February 17, 2006 Midland wheels for the Tarmac ones Col! But you'll need to be quick @ the £595 deal. Gus PS I touch goats
gus the bus Posted February 20, 2006 Author Posted February 20, 2006 Folks, Wheels arrived today very nice, very shiney but wrong stud pattern[:@] So, before they get returned to the suppplier does anyone with an Newage Sti with the 5x114.3 stud pattern want a set of these wheels with Toyo Proxes 225/40/18's for £595. I would need to know tonight so give me a PM or post up here! Gus
alistair_learmonth Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Bummer mate, how they get stud pattern wrong the peezils!
st3ph3n Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Nightmare Gus. Is this the same lot that sent Gumball the wrong offset?
drb5 Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Indeed they are MORE than dafties. I've had my wheels sent back as i watched them wobble like f**k on the rolling road and could feel the whole car shake above 70 mph. Got them back with spigot rings. Ivor told me they couldn't see the wheel wobble on their balancing machine and didn't need the re-balancing.....would you believe it!! THEY STILL WOBBLE!!![:@]

drb5 Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Just about to phone em again tomorrow. I'll give them some shout's and i'll be getting them balanced myself. If i find them to be out of balance.....well i'm not sure what to do tbh, as the wheel's suit the car so much.[]
gus the bus Posted February 21, 2006 Author Posted February 21, 2006 Told them when I ordered that they were for an 05 WRX and NOT THE STI because I knew the stud pattern was different . " No problem sir we shall get them sent out to you, now thats a 05 WRX" yip!!!! Fudds! The wheels do look superb in the flesh just a pi**er they don't fit![:'(] Anyone interested? Will hopefully get the replacements on Thursday[Y] Gus
gus the bus Posted February 21, 2006 Author Posted February 21, 2006 Quote Show us them when you get it fitted m8 Will do Peter! []

craig mac Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Folks I was thinking about these on the 05 sti? Not sure of these or these? Top middle or Bottom? mmmmmmmmmm Craig Mac
