All,
here is the latest information that I've been able to obtain
regarding our group purchase of Superlite wheels. There is still time
to join in on the purchase if anyone is still interested. We are also
still waiting to get prices from Performance Industries, Australia.
The following prices are from Superlite UK, who now manufacture the
most popular sizes, the rest come from Australia. Since the exchange
rate is so high with the UK ($1.60 per £1), I think it'd be best if we
could purchase directly from Performance Australia. We'll wait and see
what prices Paul Heuer is able to come up with.
Below are the wholesale prices (unfortunately they did not give me
prices for all sizes they sell) including the cost of shipping and
excluding the 2% customs duty. Below that is the application chart
they sent me. Just FYI, if we were to purchase 200 wheels there would
be a further 10% discount, so if you know anyone else looking for
wheels.....
5x12-£49.50
6x13-£52.50
7x13-£54.00
They also sell 5x10, 5.5x13, 8x13, & 6x14
This is a complete (except I left out Mitsubishi, Opel, Peugeot and
Vauxhall) list of applications, if you know someone (or of another list
that I haven't sent this to) who owns another make who might be
interested, forward it to them. The more we buy, the cheaper it is.
BTW, PCD is Pitch Circle Diameter and is the measurement of the lug
pattern. I do not know what the "p" stands for in the Offset column.
Perhaps someone can enlighten us.

Obviously this application chart does not list every size that will fit
each car, only what they recommend. It also does not list all models.
We will have to enquire directly with Superlite on models that don't
appear here. We'll also have to make certain that other sizes will fit
our cars if you wish to go with a size that is not listed here. E-mail
me your needs and I will forward them to Superlite. I am organizing
this venture strictly out of my own desire to buy wheels at a good
price. I'm not going to make any money off it, so please, only SERIOUS
buyers reply. It is and has taken me considerable time for me to
answer everyone's enquiries and to correspond with Superlite UK.
Thanks for your consideration. I hope to have this deal closed soon,
so if you are interested contact me ASAP.
