ben@RARE RIMS Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hope it's OK to post here, just fancied some feedback www.rarerims.co.uk has just been updated. There are some teething issues, and some more data to be added, but in general... what do you think? Cheers! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 nice I think it would be good if you could search wheels by size so you could automatically discount any wheel if its too small or too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben@RARE RIMS Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Would be nice, will maybe work on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The font used for the email address and phone number is utterly unreadable at that size. I don't think I'd change the size as it works quite nicely on the page, but definitely ditch the font for something readable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben@RARE RIMS Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 The info is in 'Contact Us' - the font is something that's been used before, but essentially I do agree I will see about swapping it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 If I was looking to buy alloys I'd probably be interested in the alloy weight - I'm not sure why most alloy web sites don't list this but it would be good to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 nice I think it would be good if you could search wheels by size so you could automatically discount any wheel if its too small or too big +1 nice to select by wheel size!

ben@RARE RIMS Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Some are listed... The thing is there's lots of lies about wheel weights. If we publish accurate weights, they wont look a lot lighter than somewhere that's lied. For example we got some wheels in advertised at 6.1kg. Ours that were to competitors were 5.9kg. That's nothing you might think.... We weighed the others, they turned out to be 7.8kg, so a massive difference, but reading on a website you would never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 You could always put 2 weights, manufacturers stated weight and the real weight if you've weighed them - I'd find that rather professional... but I can understand the concern.

ben@RARE RIMS Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 We're not worried about our weights! More the competition being dis-honest and stealing custom based on erroneous information... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 something i like about the tirerack website is that you can set your vehicle it then only supplies the wheels you can have, and then you can play around with the wheel sizes available for the car etc. it takes out that whole aspect of; will this fit my car etc questions.

ben@RARE RIMS Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 A good point - but with our current web person quite hard to put in to practice Added to which everybody has a different idea of what 'fits' it could could wheels out for people who would fit them. We're helpful people here, if anybody struggles they can do the live chat thing on the site, or drop us an email Thanks for the suggestion though!

Cragus Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 No mention of your Varrstoen wheels? Or am I just missing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 its alot easier to navigate compared to the previous one, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben@RARE RIMS Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 No mention of your Varrstoen wheels? Or am I just missing it? We have been surprised with the lack of interest in them to be honest, coupled with a limited supply and what appears to be slightly excessive pricing so we cant offer people the sort of pricing and deals they expect from us, or supply our dealer network with them, have made them a less viable stock option than we initially hoped.
