Nice Wheels (114 PCD)
 
Saw these advertised on S'net, but owner decided not to sell (noticed Scooby_Greg was having a sniff too).

Advertised as Prodrive 2011 wheels, but wheel centres didn't look right. To me they looked like an ultrlite logo....done a seach and found them at Revolution.

I saw them too, very nice. Similar to what the New RS Focus has.

Yes, I did try to buy them but he had decided not to sell. :( They were not the Prodrive ones (although he didn't know) as you spotted Scott, but they do look good don't they!

Now they are nice. :doubleup:. Good value too, they are £1049 including performance tyres. I wonder what suspension set up that has, thats exactly how I NEED mine to sit.

The 'real deal' prodrive ones are £1180 without tyres, tho I suspect alot lighter/stronger.

I bet they also look 'crisper' I know the real PFF7s look better than the replicas. Possibly wider as well?

Love them mate, really suits the car :ok:

Steve_PPP 28-08-2011 11:46 AM

yep, have to agree with Guy. Not normally a fan of that style of wheel (don't think it would suit classics or bugs!) but it seems to work on the hawkeye.... :nod:

Not sure what offset they are as there appears to be two for the 8.5" rim ET48 and ET35. I reckon these are ET35 as the RB320 probably uses an ET48-50 on an 8.5" and the wheels don't sit as flush as the above.

Ultra-lites are bloody good wheels not cheap copies.
The only problem is alot of there wheeles tend to be in a Matt finish.

I think the Ultralites actually look a bit tidier.
