Default My "new" old wheels

I wanted to go back to RE070's, so it meant going back from 18" to 17".

Drift alloys off, refurbed standard alloys back on

Pics just from my phone....sorry.




The wheels were refurbed at The Wheels Specialist in Garforth near Leeds and cost about £240.

New RE070's £245 for four

So......I have set of 18" Dare Drift RGII and budget 225/40/18's for sale, and also a set of pretty new 17" Toyo T1R's.

There's a supplier near me with them for £70 per tyre, but he had some on eBay at a starting price of £230 for a set of four.

I shoved a snipe on at £264.95 and got them for £245. Only about five miles for me to go and collect them

See my other post in the Wheels & Tyres section for details on the supplier.

Wheels look great and a cracking deal on rubber. RE070s are awesome.

Just wish they came in 18" in the UK

All I need now is to get those Prodrive springs (in my garage) fitted.........or wait for Frayz to remove his Flat-Outs and send them to me!!

I did drop a hint to the guy where I got my tyres for him to get some 18" RE070's, but he didn't bite! lol

How did you get them in 100 PCD or are you a 05 plate 114.4 PCD bud? Managed to get hold of BBS alloys like those in 100 PCD but the bugger pulled out cause he thought he was selling them to cheap.
