Anybody got any idea what 8.5 x 19's will fit - all with offset ET15

At least if I invest £250ish getting them refurbed I 'may' make enough to cover my DHL cost

You could sell the fronts to someone who can then buy the rears only from Alufelgen? don't know if Alufelgen would do that.

It is abit of a bugger in that the wheels are a very specific offset aren't they.

As your car looks so good and people will ask where you got the wheels from you may come across someone who is willing todo some messing around for cheaper wheels.

Matt @ Alufelgen actually suggested that and if anybody shows interested than I may consider it.

Well it had to happen to someone first. I have kerbed my rear drivers alloy
So annoyed with myself, its about a 3 inch long kerb scuff along the rim
Does anyone if there is an easy way of fixing this?

Well it had to happen, after what started as a really good day in Brighton, I glanced a kerb coming out of a car park

After doing a lot of thinking on the journey home, about options on how to repair/get it repaired. I stopped of at a Halfords and searched along their rattle can paint range, hoping to find a swatch book so I could go out to the car and see if any matched. Sadly no such luxury, so ended up guessing and bought a can of Daewoo stone silver, which to my amazement was a bloody good match of the Gunmetal.

Two hours later and a lot of swearing I had the wheel back to its almost new look.

So thinking it wasn’t such a bad day after all, I put the car to bed in the garage, only to see the “Engine malfunction with adverse effect on exhaust emissions”

still waiting for my replacements........

Jimmy, thats reall sh!t matey - have they actually shipped the wheels yet?

Funny, cos last week I received a PM from another overseas member who received incorrectly sized SF-71's and had imperfect paint finish, that was in February and he is still awaiting replacement now

Hope you get it sorted matey - keep the pressure on.

No, they havent been shipped yet. Matt said they are out of stock of matte black SF-71's and expect stock in 30-45 days (this was almost 6 weeks ago). He gave me the option of having two none black wheels sent, which I could have powdercoated to match, at my own expense

The last communication from Matt was that they still dont know when they will receive new stock.

This group buy has been a nightmare from start to finish.

Well, I say finish, but there is no end in sight

In my opinion, they should ship you the wheels completely FOC when they do arrive, there is no way you should paying shipping costs on wheels that are months overdue.

I can't see them doing that somehow.
