Question PFF7's And Tyres

Just been on Subaru uk's website looking at the above item and there quoting £475 including vat for Pff7's and tyres 18", Is that for a set of 4,
or "each" making them nearly £2000 for a set of 4 ????

Ps. what size are the originals on a ver 9 blobeye, so i know which to order ?
205/40/17 etc etc 205/?/?

whats the offset, no of studs etc etc


Chris

That'll be each Sir!! They charge like the Lightbrigade, go elsewhere mate for a wheel/tyre package at a realistic price, plenty aftermarket wheels of equal quality ie OZ, Speedline etc.

Cheers for that Andy, I really like the PFF7's though, but yeah I can look somewhere else. there to go on a Blobeye. Haven't bought the car yet, it will be new If I dont like the "New" shape thats coming out soon. Was hoping to do a deal with the Subaru dealer to change the wheels that are on a blobeye, to Pff7's.
BTW, Are PFF7's Prodrive wheels ?, or is it the wheels I've seen just had the Prodrive badge in the middle of the wheel ??

And I want Brand new, as the car will be.

Speak to Revolution on the phone - really nice chaps, they might be able to help. FWIW I was looking around for a long time for a set of wheels before going for the PFF7 reps. The problem is that most (17" and 18") won't clear the brakes - apparently it's not so much the diameter of the wheel but the clearance of the spokes. So if you have the Brembo calipers, your choice is quite limited.

BTW - why won't she let you have 18", but 17" are OK? The price difference on most wheels isn't much...

its not the price its the size, phnar phnar, lol, we had 17's on a v6 sri vectra about 7 years ago, and to cut a long story short, it wasn't me that kept kerbing them, if you know what I mean. So 18's would be a knightmare.

superleggera's it is then on 17's, will they fit a blobeye

Has anyone on SN got PFF7's 17" on a blobeye with Brembo brakes???

I'm not sure that I follow - no matter whether the PFF7's are 17" or 18" the spokes still will come proud of the wheel rim and thus be prone to curbing damage. AFAIK, due to the size of the Brembo calipers, most wheels that fit the STi have spokes that sit proud. No safety for the "hard of parking"

i can get prodrive centre caps if i want from the local scooby dealership - about £20 or so but can't be arsed. Came with a nice set of STI badges that match the wheel and caliper colour so that will do me nicely
