Default Prodrive PFF7:- fitted

Thanks to a now new member of Scoobynet who was the previous owner of these lovely gold Prodrive PFF7's, which now grace mine.
Thanks also to Chrisdicko for his help in the sale
Amazing what a change of wheel does to the look of the car
From this:-

To this:-



Noted steering has become slightly more positive on the bends, ride comfort no real difference.

I come accross one or two too many speed bumps on my journeys, think I may struggle with it any lower. But its still food for thought

I want those wheels now. Been trying to decide whether to go for replicas or the real thing for my blue blob and I think you have just made up my mind for me. All I need to do now is find a set.

I know what you mean, looked at the replicas before, but because I wanted gold, they were similar to the old wheels finish, in that they weren't painted gold behind the spokes, that anoyes me.
Prodrives are fully painted. Try and hold out for the real ones if after the colour gold, darker colours seemed better.

1000000000000000000% better.
Those original 17's look way too small on the newage cars.

I fitted 30-40mm Tein springs to my newage STI, with a front splitter and never touched any speedhumps.

I also preferred your old ones, I think your car looks older now for some reason

Look much better than originals Darren, pictures don't do them justice as is often the case. There also tested to 410bhp (should have charged extra for that).

I'll keep quite then dave lol. Your also right, seeing any car with these on is fantastic, love the way they bulge out and show off the brakes too.
They have had their 2nd wash in as many days today, off to sunny oxford for a week now.

Thanks Dave for the fantastic wheels, im well chuffed
