Hi guys, been a long time since I've posted here, not been driving the coop too much lately. I'm interested in getting some alloys made to the style of the plus alloys, only in 18" size. - To give the coop a more moderne look. I've found a company that might be willing to do this - Want to charge me £30 just to give me a quote Does anyone have a link to a decent pic of the plus alloys? Cheers Sal

Thanks for the posts guy, and Thanks Nazo for the links I think those pics should be sufficient for now. I think I'll have to get hold of a regular 16" Plus alloy when things get more serious. I've decided to pay £30 for the quote, and see whats what. I got the feeling that the prices would drop dramatically if there were more people on board... Group buy?? I was given a rough gestimate for a one time deal around £1500-1700. I'm hoping it won't be that much!

18" pretty please...
I have looked at so many wheels in 18" range and TBH still love the uniqueness of plus alloys..
I am sure this would turn into a huge GB and that would bring the cost down quite a bit
I am in.. in any case

Hello from France,
I own a 20vt PLus for a while, and I'm looking for 18" wheels to make it more modern. But I don't find anything that fit the car perfectly. Stock wheels in 18 would be perfect !!! Please do it, I am in (and I bet I'm not the only french one...)
Ps: I oftenly look here, but i've just log, specially for this. Tell me if I need to introduce myself in a specific topic

Im sure we can get 30 people for group buy and should then be around £900.
nearly all custom items on the forum are much more cost then of the shelf simply because they have been custom made by forumers or others..

If we could get 20-30 sets, then I'm sure the price would drop dramatically.
I'mn still waiting to hear back from the company - Will chase them tomorrow if i haven't heard anything.

Does anyone know what the weight of a standard 16" Plus alloy is?
Reason I ask is that there may be a possibility to reduce weight at the same time (depending on costs)

Sal 9kg (about 20lbs). Seems to be difficult to get 18" lighter (even forged one)

18" plus alloys would look great so long as it was only the spokes they lengthened and not the square centre section. i agree with jimbo it would look very odd with a large centre section

Hi guys,
Been out the loop on this one for a bit. I've had a response from one supplier who said that if we ordered 10 sets we might get a price about £750 for a set of 18" Plus style wheels.
Still waiting for all confirmations, designs etc.
Any one interested please post below and I'll contact you once i receive all the details (hoping next week)

Just to let you know these will be manufatured in China, and shipped here - so I have to make sure that we don't get stung by customs here, and that they have all the needed saftey marks etc.

I wonder if this would infringe the intellectual property (design right) in the wheel - i.e. be illegal.

Probably but I doubt anyone will do anything about it
