Default Best place to buy alloys?

Hi guys after selling the classic got a bit of extra cash to spend on some alloys, ive been looking at the rb320 ones look real nice

17" ALLOY WHEELS Prodrive Scooby Subaru Impreza WRX P1 on eBay, also, Wheel Rims, Car Wheels, Tyres Trims, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 13-Feb-09 15:39:32 GMT)

Their 320+25 delivery from here, anyone know a place cheaper or is that a fair price you think?

Cheers guys

I spent 2 weeks for looking for a set of new alloys, the price listed is about what they are selling for even from specialist sites. Nice looking set of wheels

They are actually Inovit replicas. Check out Revolution or Scoobyparts to compare prices first.
Revolution are doing similar Inovit CTS wheels for £569 with Toyo T1Rs.
Or WR1 lookalikes (Redlines), again with Toyo's for £599

If you are considering Inovits Road Runner in Church Village supply them. It may be worth giving them a call to see if they can supply them and save the postage. They will also swap the tyres off your current wheels onto the new ones if they fit. I have a trainee working in there and they seem pretty good at what they do, although i havnt purchased anything from them myself as yet. They do have a good range though.
By the way, were you passing through Llwydcoed about 5:30 tonight, sure i spotted you. You wouldnt have noticed me though, if it was you, i was driving the wifes Polo.

Gonna save some more money then will buy a set will try them out tho mate sounds ideal, picked up some bits and some glass from swansea yesterday and went and got petrol from tesco's so was problly us

Started raining as well not good when you got no window

The exhaust was blowing tho cause it didnt have gaskets at both end of center, it wasnt until later that night Matt (mje_wrx) came and finished the exhaust and fitted the glass, now it sounds spot on very loud tho you'll find out at the meet on wedesday if ya still going
