Looks like you are not having much luck with buying these wheels, might be worth sending Demon Tweeks some pics and seeing what they have to say, baring in mind they failed you the first time!

Agree with rob - demon tweeks are big enough to sort out that cock-up! U don't pay ur hard earned money To get 3 wheels not 4 and especially 2nd time round and also one being different shade :ok:

I know guys, really annoyed, this wheel purchase has to last me a long time as I'm no millionaire, really disappointed and fed up, spoke to them over the phone and sent them pictures so we shall see what happens.

Don't take no crap! :ok:

Won't do mate, opinions guys 18"x9.5 et30 clears brembos fine, but does sit a bit wider than thought. http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/...pspmzxqjnc.jpg

Looks a bit wide for my tastes, but the style of wheels looks great.

I'd fully expect that Demon Tweaks will see you right. The colour is blatantly off, so given they've only been trial fitted you should be fine.

I like the wide look - gives some width to the scoob :ok: - just my two pence worth

Nice wheels but unfortunately I do not like the stretched look.

Like the wider stance but feel the wheels need to be higher in the arches to give it that real mean look, that starts to going in to 'tyre meets arch' territory though and doesn't necessarily make for a nice driving scoob, more a nice looking one! Depends what you are after I guess! 😀

Initially I didn't want the wheel to sit wider than the arch, which ment going for a narrower wheel and bigger offset which will lose the deep concave, which I like, so had to go for these in the end, they're sitting a bit wider than expected. I'll give them a chance and see how I get on. The 9,5" rims also gives me the opportunity to go with 265's one day and bolt on arches if I wanted to. 225's stretched at the moment to help clear arches. Hence my decision to go with the current setup, really wanted best of both worlds but can't. 👍

:agreed: and good luck not kerbing them:?

I don't like the stretch look, I like the wheels, but I'd want a tyre that fitted properly and I can properly hammer in the corners,

With those ideally you would want some fairly serious camber to get them to not stick out the arches and then drop it down 20 or 30mm, for me it's too much form over function.. But!! They are nice rims I do like the look ;) dono how well bolt on arches fit/look on a widetrack, I'd like to see that though.

So got my old wheels refurbed and sent the dodgy wheels back, also had my first go today at claying and using poor boys products, there's more imperfections to sort, but I'll seek advice from you guys tommorow, I've got a machine polisher but too scared to use it. Lol and then a bird dropped on it, beginners luck. http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/...pszkfr2sef.jpg

Ahh black looks so good when it's clean! :) Claying bores the hell out of me tbh but it's a necessary evil at the end of the day!

As long as you've got a DA, keep it on a low-ish setting and don't stay on one panel (or section) for too long you should be fine tbh. I did the old dears Ibiza a little while ago and it came up nicely... even if she has been down the back lanes and got it filthy with the Labrador in the back since! :doubledown:

Lol cheers, mine is single action, I'll prob sell it and get a da eventually. I might try it on the work van first and see how I get on. 👍

That is nice wouldn't mind a black widetrack one day :whistle:

Looks good :ok:

Don't be afraid of the machine - providing you take it slow you will be fine - if you need some help gimme a shout :ok:

Ha ha ha ha :ok:

Sure you'll miss it?

Thanks Ryan

Lol that's if I can find one first .

Looking good with the blacked headlamps mate :doubleup:

There is just something about the black ones......... 😂!

Looking very nice indeed!

Welcome to the dark side. 👍

Looks really smart. Good work with the headlights. :ok:

I think black suits the Impreza. I may be a touch biased though...!

Wrong end of the stick again. 😂

Very nice dude. Brings back lots of happy memories. Hours of polishing!!!

Nice lucky, my arms are definitely getting bigger by the week. ☺️

Gj with the headlights (as I said at last meet they look the business :)

Followed your thread and I'm happy with the results as I'm normally crap with paintwork. ☺️

Yup definitely black I want and found a nice one better start saving the pennies .

Cool. 👍

I reckon a front splitter will finish it nicely :ok:

Agreed, and will sort in due time, things I'd like to do when funds available are,
Splitter
Tint sunstrip
Coil overs
18" wheels 6 or 7 spoke concave ( keep changing my mind on colour, but will prob go for bronze)
Geo setup
Cobra 3" turbo back decat exhaust
Fuel pump
Panel filter
3 port boost
Remap
Any suggestions or advice welcome from all 👍

Got a RCM 340 fuel pump here somewhere as going to buy a new one .

I'd be interested if she hasn't done too much work, must ask, why are you buying a new one? Different model?

Same model just that I have bought everything new on the type r so ordering a new one and the one I've got has done about 500 miles .
