FS/FT: Set (4) Prodrive PFF-7 18x8 (114.3) in British Pewter - condition 4.5/5

Set of PFF-7's in British Pewter finish, 05+ STi pattern, 51mm offset. (Doesn't fit WRX. May fit other cars.)

3 of the wheels are "brand new in box." I took one out to photograph it, the other two are still sealed. (Will open and inspect all wheels with buyer, upon sale, to verify no shipping damage.)

The 4th seems to be an open-box return. There's two obvious defects. The most prominent is a small chip along the lip. With rubber over it, it'll be less noticeable. Second is some slight discoloration and micro-fine scratches on the "elbow" of the spokes; looks like the wheel was set face-down on pavement. I tried to get a clear photo of this, but it proved difficult; easier to see in person from 2" away, but I've attached one to try and show it. All wheels will include center cap; the 4th wheel doesn't have it pictured, it comes with a new one, in plastic bag. (That's how it came to me.)

The NIB wheel has a very small chip on the inside lip of the wheel, looks like it happened during factory handling prior to packaging, etc. Invisible when mounted on the car.

While subtle, these blemishes detract from the wheels as "new", and one of them would need to be re-finished for a show-car, so I'm reflecting this in the price. (Past experience has been that it's ~$150 per wheel to repair moderate curb rash, etc.)

I've never seen the online vendors selling a set for less than $1200 new. Since I'm not an online vendor, and to account for the blems, asking $900; 3 new wheels, one lightly blem'd wheel for free.

I bought this set of wheels for a future STi drivetrain swap, since I'm running the same wheels in 5x100 now, but that plan has been all but abandoned. Will consider trades for a set of new or used 17" RPF-1's with cash on your side, depending on condition and mounted rubber, or something of comparable value that's also well suited (read: lightweight) for auto-x use.

Any questions, feel free to ask or PM me. Prefer local pickup so you can look them over in person, but will ship at buyer's expense; cash or PP +3%. Would be nice to sell these before Christmas, but not desperate.

Hard to believe all STi owners aren't looking for new rims. Guess I'll put these up on eBay if nobody local wants them.

But before I do that, dropping price to $750 for Subaru people. ($750 for some sweet forged Italian rims!)

I'm lazy, and dislike selling stuff on eBay, so these have been sitting in the Prodrive boxes, in my garage. Would like to fix that, so back to seeing if there's interest.

Still in very clean condition, still look great. Center caps for all wheels are included.
