We need a couple of sets of wheels but are struggling to buy some (that arent £500 a wheel! )

Does anyone know of places that are willing to offer a discount/sponsorship on a couple of sets? Space on car, blogs etc - free trackdays, entry tickets and pit passes available.

We need wheels in the following specs

PCD 114.3mm
5 Stud
ET12-20
9.5" wide
18" Diameter

On rimstyle its £600 for 8" front 9" back pro race 1.2s so at a guess a special order would be £800 for 4.

more than we're wanting to pay... and they arent 9.5" to suit 265 tyres (all round)

I got my 9" x 17" ProRace 1.2s for less than £500

Says in the listing they are 18x9.5j.

Still,less then 220 a wheel is better than 500 a wheel.

**edit** just realised that reply wasn't for me.

we have a couple sets of Ultralites just now, and would be able to get them cheap.

There are a few issues though. None of the sizes we need come in 'nice' wheels or in decent colours

I'm talking 100-150 a wheel here

argh don't get Rotas!

Enkei RPF1s extremely light!

3798956515SP (18x9.5) +15 (5x114.3) 1 $324.00

I've bought countless times from www.lsdmotorsports.com in the states.

You should be able to get 3 sets for 3k deliered easily.

3 sets for 3k isnt 2 sets for 1k

I'm fine with Rota's - I'm not a wheel snob, and will not pat crazy price for the likes for TE37, CN28's etc

Enkei RPF1's are a not very nice either - in my opinion.

Whilst i do like the Ultralite 'bbs ripoffs' Nur's I dont think they'd work on the car.

On a nice sleek road car yes
