It is no problem to mix the volume needed across the two finishes, this isn't holding us back. I am going to phone Ivor at Speedline again in Jan when the factory is back up and running to get a definitive go/no go on this.

Sorry everyone, I'm going to have to pull out. Kills me to do so and sure I'll regret it but as it stands I might even have to think of selling the VX (not till after Hoon obviously!) Apparently it's time to buy a house and seemingly you need money for a deposit. Who knew?! 1. Jvcoop1 2. Mart106 3. jonnyboy 4. Mazzy (Satin) 5. The Fat Man (gloss black) 6. Ali87**OUT** 😞 7.

I've had mine refurbished gloss black. Looks fine (and will prob fade. ) I'd post a pic but I can't get on with the .Org image posting rules.

The other tyres cracked and went out of shape in storage.

I'm in providing they are the same spec as the OEM VXR speedlines (Vocky you have mail)

The wheels never came with tyres. I did 300 miles I'll have you know last year

Hi Guys,

 

Just an update, spoke to Ivor today at Speedline and he is being told to stick to the 25 min sets by Speedline central to trigger the buy. So, this leaves a few areas to explore to get this going-

 

1) Ivor from Speedline is going to be at Autosport this weekend and hopes to be able to move the last 5 sets outside of the forum to trigger the buy. The challenge is selling the rear sizes.

 

2) I have asked if there is a "middle ground" price for 20 sets to offset the risk to Speedline. I am sure there is a reasonable mid ground so worth questioning.

 

3) We find 5 more people! I am glad we have 20 so don't have high hopes for this but we will see. Does anyone have contacts on the European forums to help get the last few?

 

I will keep you updated.

Hopefully the further away from xmas we get the more likely the remaining five sets will have of finding a buyer

I think it is purely timing being so close after Christmas. If the wheels are more or less oem then I am sure more orders can be generated with current vxr220 owners who may want to go halfs on a set with another. The other thing which may help is how long are potential production times. No doubt some type of deposit will be required soon to get batch rolling. But if the production will be over 8 weeks it may help some financially to get the rest of the money ready. Money is tight in January so people may respond better later.

Small market but these will obviously fit Lotus Europa aswell, so maybe worth a post on SELOC?

[A.C.oral]

How many of the current 20 will follow through! My "definite maybe" is a yes.

I'm definitely IN.

 

It might be worth 'refreshing' the list? 

 

When we first did a Compomotive group buy 9 years ago (blimey.. that's gone quick..) I ended up buying three sets (and selling two on in the following months) just to make sure the group buy happened. In the all the years (with gaps, admittedly, so might have missed it!) I've been on here, this is the first time I can remember anyone has got this close to persuading Speedline to make some more VX wheels and I really don't want to the chance to go to waste. Therefore I would consider buying two sets (and leaving the second set for sale ad infinitum..) to try and assist this to actually happen..  Would anyone else do the same? Only to get to the 25 needed.. we wouldn't want to flood the market!
