Hope that helps.

I thought the gunmetal PFFs were too dark on a black car, so opted for these, then will get them powder coated to a anthracite/bright flitter colour sometime soon.

If your going genuine mate, about £1000 from a dealer and then tyres on top!! I would go for the repliacs as they are cheaper.

Hi mate,

Try Revolution. www.revolution.eu.com I know they do the Turinis and the replica PFF7 wheels. If not I've got a couple of Original OZ WRC wheels with Yokohama Prada tyres mate. One wheel needs a refurb, but other is fine and both straight. Good luck with the search.

Sorry if I confused the issue. I did take a look at the pics before hand and they are the same wheels as I have. Bought mine from Subaru and the only difference was the Prodrive logo. Good luck mate.

Do you have any picstures?

The other thing i would guess is the Build Quality between the replica's and the ones from prodrive

What size are those TE37's? If you're thinking of powder coating them, does that mean you arent that keen on them? If thats the case, would you be interested in swapping/px them at all?

Rota Gra's are more like the Prodrive GC-10 which is only available in the USA, but features on the new P2. PWRC1's are the closest match in the Uk and have a flusher nut arrangment than the GRA's. PWRC1's have the benefit of looking great whatever car you put em on.

Why get the PwRC1's over the Rota GRA...??? apart from one bing a replica and the other not?

I was thinking black, but decided on maybe Gold, and black just does not stand out much...

black scoobs looks the best in stealth mode

the rota wheels are not FLOW FORMED, and is not as light... the PWOC1 weights about the same as the origianl 17's , AND they wont clear bigger brakes...like APs

if you are going for gold, it have to be the PFF7s in gold...

I dn't think i will be chaging the Brembo's to AP's...weight yes is a problem but for the amount that is being paid i think is ok...

I think the Gold looks awsome...

Sorry Jay_bee,

they are most definately not for sale. I had a set of 16's but always wanted a set of 17's to allow bigger brakes to be fitted. I found this set for a reasonable price but only after months of searching. I was always going coat them black no matter what colour I found.

If you must have TE37's look for 16's, they're much easier to find and sooooooo light.

GC-10's but only available in the USA. You can see that the rotas are more a replica of these than the PWRC1's which are a better looking wheel IMHO.

GRA

PWRC1

But if I could choose a close second it would be the recently available GC-05

Just called up a place in the US, $2700 for a set of 4 + $600 Shipping! Look Awsome!

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e140/WRX53/GC10.jpg


WOW

Though i see what you are saying, the Rota's are more of a replica of the GC-10 (which do look nice0

The GC-05 look good too...is there a replica for this alloys?
