Sorry to sound silly but why do this?

I'm not in a rush to put the Inovit ones onto my Prodrive wheels, it sounds a bit like the guy down the road to me with his BMW 325 with his 'M' badges on it.

Or have I missed the point? It's just when I was in the market for Impreza's lots of people on there adverts said 'Prodrive wheels' and they weren't when I viewed the car.

And here is link Scoobyparts Ltd GENUINE PRODRIVE P-FF7 CENTRE CAP

they are replica wheels....why would you not want to make them look like prodrive ones? Surely thats the point? If/when I get replicas, I'd do the same

I'm not a millionaire, wish i was though. I had to save since March to get a 2nd hand set of PFF7's and only got them last week.

It's just maybe I got a bad vibe from all the false sellers I went to visit, on the phone they lied, on the adverts they lied, it annoyed me I guess especially when you've travelled over 200 miles to view a car when on the phone or advert they could of stated what the wheels really were.

Its the sort of Ferrari 355 for sale and you turn up and find an MR2, well it's just a replica, it's the same thing isn't it?

It was just a question on what was wanted to be achieved, I was just interested lots of people seem to badge there cars up differently as well and i've never quite understood why.

Having said that the G Reg Ford Fiesta GTi V12 down the road is certainly unique.

Anyway I hope the link is of assistance

Never really compared the reps with these bad boys it would be interesting to compare the weight etc do your wheels really need new caps do the standard ones look that bad ???

do you know what. Even if I had the money, I would not pay for PFF7's. Why pay that much when you could get a set of replicas for under £700? Obviously they are not as light but unless you are on a track in a competition, does it make that much difference?

They are mint though don't get me wrong

HT04 chill out it's Friday, it was just a question it wasn't directed at you or any specific individual.

If it's offended you then i'm man enough to apologise. I'm here the same reason as 95% of other members, we all have a passion for cars and a in particular Subaru Impreza's regardless the model.

If it sounded like I was putting people down then again I apologise it was a genuine question with the purpose of not to annoy but for me to understand the logic and reasons behind it.

If you can't except my 2 apologys then thats fine.

Here check out this WRC Exhaust Clip hopefully it'll lighten the mood (prob repost though )

Maybe my beer or 2 made me come across a bit wrong.

Glad apology excepted and you didn't need to offer one

Anyway i'll actually be interested to see how the caps look on the Replica's must admit didn't know they could fit originally.

Ive got the replica PFF7 wheels, I think my centre caps are 60mm in diameter.

I could be wrong but I believe the genuine Prodrive caps are actually 55mm in diameter??

lmfao at that clip,
i have the redlines bought the centre caps and as said they don't fit. i think revolution does just the centre badges so that you don't have to butcher an original set
the only difference as far as i can see is the prodrive and speedline printed on the wheel of the originals
