Default 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.

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. . 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?

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....

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.

Prodrive GT2 :


Ultralite GTP :


I think the Ultralites actually look a bit tidier.
