The forge 5 do look nice Steve.
Would like a set for the v6.

Would like a set for the v6.
Got a quote about a month ago for the forged 5 for the V6
Cost was about 2500 euro before vat and shipping costs, delivery was about 3-4 weeks
I’ve heard back from Braid.
All to original S1 spec and before VAT and delivery:-
Adds up to 2890 euro a set.
A 20% discount is offered at 5 full sets, which would make it 2312 euro a set.
Thanks Stephen. 20% discount and then 21% VAT
So that’s about £2350 ish a set delivered all in.
I’d really like to see them on your car, you coming to Anglesey? Got any more pics?
That sounds like a very generous discount from braid!
Yeah, I thought it was a good discount too.
I’m not going to Anglesey unfortunately Ben and any pictures I have are not much better than the one I posted. The wheels appear so inky black that they just don’t show up too well.
As bit of a side question I spotted this on eBay
http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/281248198294?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1
I noticed in the description that the hubs have been redrilled for 4x100 pcd which has it’s benefits for wheel choice. Does anyone know if the hub flanges on our cars could be re drilled for 4x100?
I don’t see why not. Eliseparts aftermarket ones are actually drilled for both. That said even with 4x100pcd the small offsets are just as difficult to find on other wheels.
Any pics of the TMR’s Andy had finished in satin black?
Thinking of doing mine as i’m tired of polishing!
Yes it does …
Stunning car…
Bit of a thread resurrection.
Euro is pretty weak at the moment so we’re heading towards £2k for a set in S1 Exige sizes if we could get to five sets.
I’m gonna get my car resprayed at the end of the season and I’d really love to add some tasty 5spokes. Would anyone else be in for a set at around the £2k mark?
Yes Ben I would.
Well done Jonny. Anyone else,…not gonna do it for a bit.
I got in touch with Compomotive too and they said they could make some,…with me and Jonny we’d just need to find 98 more takers
I am interested too and for 3 sets i can get 15% off TMR list price as i contacted the staffs 8 months ago…
3 SETS UP; -15%
5 SETS UP; -20%
10 SETS UP; -25%
I was actually thinking of the Braid wheels not the TMRs, let’s look at the relative prices for 5x sets :
TMR
Base Price per Set = 345600 YEN (from TMR Website)
Volume Discount for 5xSets of -20% = 69,100 YEN
Discounted Price = 276,480 YEN
Price inc local VAT @5% = 290,304 YEN
Shipping Estimate = 35000 YEN
Total Invoice Amount = 325,304 YEN
Exchange Rate : £1 = 188 YEN
Total Invoice Amount in £ = £1730
Including Duty @ 3% = £1781.90
Including VAT @20% on Landed Price = £2138 per set
Braid
Base Price per Set = 2890 Euro (from Azrael’s post last year)
Volume Discount for 5xSets of -20%= 2312 Euro
Price inc local VAT @21% = 2798 Euro
Shipping Estimate = 100 Euro
Total Invoice Amount = 2898 Euro
Exchange Rate : £1 = 1.38 Euro
Total Invoice Amount in £ = £2100 per set
Bloody expensive either way. We need to get Azrael to get us some more pics of his Braids!
Which is lighter?
TMR is lighter (I think) but I’m guessing that the Braid is stronger.
Look at the TMR’s on Andy’s car above,…hmmm lovely 5-spokes
