At least the GPs are the correct offsets; beware the backset is still tight for oversize calipers. Not as bad as the MF10s though. Those other Spoon ripoffs have really retarded offsets & STILL insufficient backset!

Best thing you can do if you don't like the anodised finish is to get them powdercoated! They are buggers to clean with the sandcast spokes.

Im leaning twards the "discontinued" GC-05F or GC-10E because the bolts line with the spokes.
Although I prefer the GC07's design, the bolts give the impression of being better placed in some areas more than others. This assymetry put me right off as soon as I noticed.

I know one member on here that needed to replace a single wheel. He got his from Prodrive UK and had a long wait.

Nick, the Regamaters are not ripoffs, they are effectively the same wheel as Spoon SW388--both manufactured by Desmond in Russia.

Emailed Prodrive UK. They can only sell me this:
GC-010E 8.5X18 ET50 5X114.3 MS = £1260 per set + freight
GC-05F 8X18 ET46 5X114.3 MS = £1260 per set + freight

Reasonable price but wrong sizes. When I asked if they would import the correct size for me they said no, and suggested that I ask the local Honda dealer!!

would be great if someone could suggest a site and wheels that arent like hens teeth. gotunning dont state stock and have "call for prices"... I did but no reply yet.

Bulletproof are a good bunch of guys and they have decent prices. I've used them for a few things incuding hard to find stuff like the BYS seat rails.
