I got mine from Jonny at MacG Racing: http://www.macgracing.co.uk/shop/3-wheels

Have you worked out your ET on the fronts yet or are you waiting until you fit the front wishbones?
Are you keeping the same dims for the rear wheels?
Your choice might be limited (spacers may be required) if not none for monoblock wheels and also limited for 2/3 piece split rims, just a case of seeing what you like and phoning around and seeing whose willing to make them with your required ET.

is that 3000 pounds for a set or for 1 wheel?

It's for a set of four.

I bought a set of Braid F1 Forged wheels from the factory, I wanted to buy from Mac G as they were really helpful but in the end bottom line was the factory were over £650 cheaper for the set.

ezakimak That's for a set.

The Braid TCT are considerably cheaper ± £2000(inc. VAT) for a set, I considered these but decided on the stronger forged wheel, again the factory were about £250 cheaper per set.

The Factory have the wheels (Braid) to fit longer wishbones.

i dont like the look of the factory wheels... sorry

im after a wheel that looks bigger.

Lucky p had a lovely set all be it carbon and mega bucks but they looked the bizz

i feel the spokes need to extend to the endge of the and its fantastic the factory have given us the option, but they smaller and old fashioned(sorry Richard we need more choice)

everyone on to their own... but these look better for the reason above

I know ... I'm old.
but I like the wheels polished (not chrome).
this new fashion of dark wheels do not like.
at night it is great to see the wheels that reflects light .... while the GTR runs

Have you looked at forgelines? This is most likely route I will take.

[deadscoob]

Have you seen the price of them now?

I love my forgelines, but don't think I'd pay what they cost nowadays....

Dom, have you seen Dave Hodges wheels? They're lovely, suit the car well, look modern and are good quality. Dave, hope you don't mind

[Abbosevolution]

My Forgelines and yes stupid price

[UltimaFAN]

It's strange, I'm not really old yet (only for my kids), but I always prefer the old version of the factory wheels.

They are part of the identity of the Ultima, giving a badass feel to the car, and they are quite unique now on the road compare to all the other ones, which we can see on every series sport cars.

[GTRS]

I also like the original factory wheels. My only reservation is the time and effort required to keep them clean! A few owners have said that they are quite challenging to clean.

[Corsair613]

I'm in favor of the original wheels. Bright, distinctive, and very much part of the car's design language and identity.

They should be delivered with a medallion, chest wig and cheesy 80s clothes!

It's group c inspired, don't recall many group c cars with shiny wheels?

[Abbosevolution]

Its a bit like the retromod debate - classic or update - I'm with making the car easier to live with and to my taste - each to their own and just part of the Ultima experience.

[cooberpedy]

here is my choice:
OZ Alleggerita in gunmetal color


cheers
