I got my lurid Green wheels a week ago... & they're gonna stand out, make no mistake!

Lets see a piccy Max, love off the wall coloured wheels!

anyone still not recieved theirs? mine arrived yesterday, yet to unpack and check them. will lock this thread on Friday if all business has concluded.

Still not got mine, chased Rimstock yesterday and they said they should be out in the next few days.

i wonder if they got Steve mixed up as mine were delayed due to finishing not being perfect and had to be redone.

...mmmm, that'll mean they're gonna be heavier Steve & the tyres probably won't fit on the rims

would you like me to give andy a ring on your behalf matey

[SteveA]

If you don't mind. I've spoken to them 3 times now and feel like i'm getting nowhere. Everytime I phone they seem to say they haven't been sent out yet but will soon. Plus they charged me for 4 wheels instead of two (which is sorted now).

My wheels turned up first thing this morning.

[siztenboots]

hurrah, mine are unpacked and stored in garage, waiting to put some wide Federal RS-R on them. Really should at least trial fit them and check rear clearance to chassis leg.

So has everyone received them now? What's the next big group buy?

I'm doing this tonight plus taking the shock off and compressing them right up to see if it fouls anywhere.

You going for 255's Steve?

What's the next big group buy?

OZ?

[SteveA]

Right firstly 9" wheels are WIDE I haven't got any tyres on yet but without spacers they don't foul the chassis, wishbones, shocks, shock mounts or arches. They do however rub the handbrake cable slightly on full compression (top wishbones touching the chassis) but this shouldn't be a problem with the shocks on I am going to my local tyre fitters today to see if I can scrounge an old worn M3 or 911 rear tyre to get fitted for clearance (255/40/17) I'll let you know how I get on.

Sounds good Steve! Looking forward to seeing some photos

Visualising something like this.

[SteveA]

Nah the tyres will have a 40 profile and are 17" so have an almost identical rolling radius to the standard wheels, they are just a decent bit wider.

glad they turned up.did speak to andy on friday and he was unsure on the progress but would defo chase it up that day

[SteveA]

I also spoke to them Friday morning so I guess two people phoning must have worked. Cheers.

Are there any plans to do another group buy?
