Good luck getting through to them about this; I've been phoning for three months and have got no-where; I swear they see it's me by my number and ignore the calls  and I really wanted a set too  Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

I live very near to their gaff - it seems a real 'Boyce' (Only Fools) sort of place. I've had no dealings with them, but I wouldn't want any either. Black Betty - 4 days..... Tunisia 1 2 3 Power by TorqTune

I bought a set of FFRR wheels from them at the end of April, they were very pleasant to deal with on the phone. The wheels and tyres were immaculate, no damage and definitely new. I would buy from them again. Zambezi Silver TDV6 HSE, Privacy glass, Side steps and Maxxraxx 5 Bike carrier.

I had the same experience as you Woody179 and the deal I got was fantastic, I would recommend them. Brute force and ignorance, the D3 does the rest.

Hi my names Alex and i work at imperials and took a call from someone yesterday regarding wheels and passed the call onto my college who was to call him back!
We as you can see from our website are a car dealership and we sell lots of land rovers and for a while we used to take off the wheels that were less than 20" and put 20" or 22" on them, and we ended up with lots of these mainly 19" range rover sport alloys in stock and decided to advertis them on ebay months ago at a very reasonable price and as expected they flew out the door very quickly! All of these wheels got sold as did a lot of other wheels that we had in stock for other makes and models!
Its a shame that we are getting a bad name on here from some people who are phoning up about something that we are not currently advertising anywhere for sale!!! We do however appreciate the good feedback from people who had bought the wheels from when they were advertised on ebay the wheels were always in as new condition having only been on the car for the delivery miles to us when they were taken off straight away!
This forum is new to me but will definatley remember that if we have anymore of these alloys coming available i will mention them on here, but at the minute most of the cars are coming from our suppliers with at least a 20" alloy on them which we often then send off to be diamond cut and colour coded!
Thanks
Alex
ps. with regads to DiscoStu's comments about us being a 'Boyce sort of place' ha ha ha! Did make me laugh we are a pretige car company that has been around for many years and has thousands of very happy customers many of whom buy several cars a year from us!

Hi Alex 
That's pretty much what your colleague, Richard, said a couple of weeks back when I last spoke with him. He said it may be a while before any more came up.
Cheers for coming on here and spreading the word.

Didnt realise we were so famous on here ha ha! I'll keep an eye out for these wheels in future and give you guys a shout before putting them on ebay! Its amazing how many people from ebay still try and knock you down on the price even though the tyres alone were worth more than what we were selling the complete sets for!!!
Thanks
Alex

Hi Alex, it was good talking to you when you sorted me out with my five wheels, they still look fantastic and it’s also very reassuring to know I have a proper spare now rather than the daft space saver that Land Rover give you. It’s great to have you on the site, welcome.

I pass you on the way to work so I'll call in from time to time.
I'm looking for a set myself but if any others want me to help with the disco3 courier service Id be happy to help.
I can confirm I've never seen an 80's Jag with furry dice, a woman called Marlene or a single sheepskin jacket at your dealership !

I received very friendly & efficient service from Imperials, when I purchased a set of 19" FFRR wheels & tyres. Plus a bargain price
They did have a highly blinged D3 on their forecourt, but each to their own & Essex is the spiritual home of modded & blinged motors. 
They also had a very impressive range of Ferrari's, Astons, Mercs. etc.

Alex, firstly welcome to the site I hope you find it as useful a resource as we do.
Thanks for your candid introduction, there's no better kind. From my perspective any company will be in my bad books if it consistently fails to communicate; in my case after multiple phone calls to your company promising a call back (I was asked to keep ringing in case any wheels turned up) I have never to-date received such a call.
As you have now joined the forum and are therefore easily available for discussions, I hope that we can at some point start again with better results for us both. Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.
