HI GUYS & GIRLS
I WAS TALKING TO A CHAP AT IMAGE WHEELS (KENT) ABOUT MAKING SOME 18" RS200 SPEEDLINE SPLIT RIMS REPLICA WHEELS .HE SAID TO ME THAT HE CAN MAKE THEM BUT AT A COST OF £2000 GBP +VAT PER SET SO THAT WORKS OUT TO £2400 PER SET OF WHEELS ' ALOT OF MONEY !!!! SO I SAID TO HIM WHAT ABOUT IF I GOT ORDERS OF 4-5 SETS OF WHEELS WHAT PRICE COULD HE DO ? HE CAME BACK TO ME AT £1400 PER SET +VAT
SO I WAS REALLY WONDERING IF ANYONE LIKES THE IDEA ?????
PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS IF YOU ARE INERESTED ??

IF WE HAD MORE THAN 4-5 ORDERS I THINK THE PRICE WILL COME DOWN EVEN MORE !!!BUT I WILL HAVE TO CONFIRM THIS WITH IMAGE WHEELS

THANKS FOR YOU TIME

KARL RS200

That could be a nice item Karl... Hope you get enough interest for these to be made. I've seen someone adapted the outer rim for 18 inch but I take it the project you are proposing with "Image Wheels" increases the diameter of the inner part (the spokes so to speak), is this correct?

RSR had an 18" version about 6 or so years ago in any PCD, SPD Bob had them too in 18" 108 PCD, and Bill Watson has the 16" rims fitted to his car which I told you about a few weeks back. They should be on cad somewhere allready?

Harry is the guy to speak too in the company. I put his details on some of the replica sights about 1 year ago.
