Im looking to put some rims on the car, lower it and a big brake upgrade next, but unsure on what rims and size rims to go for, im thinking black rims will look nice against the blue.

Things are very limited for a used set of rims. would I be right that any 5x100 rims would fit as long as the offset is within reason?

 

Im running Rota Force 18x8.5 on my blue Hawk, 5x100 et 48 and will fit fine over brembo brakes, finished in flat black and look smart, give Ruislip Tyres a shout coz got mine from there, cost about a grand wheel/tyre package with 225/40/18 Falkens, mines lowered on Tein Flex Z coilovers and finishes it off nicely

 

Aren't the hawks 5x114.3 ?

 

Yeah sti might be 5x114.3, but mines a wrx so 5x100

 

Xxr's ted 18" 8:25 wide

 

Yeah zany prefer ya new look, much better than ya white rims, was tempted to run 18x9 or 18x9.5 but wasn't sure of possible arch rub but dint want the hassle of rolling the arches lol

 

Thanks ted I do miss the others to be honest and will get them redone in anthracite if not sold
Current ones only on as I got them @ £127! I might even go 18" next year don't know yet

 

Can you fit 19s on the hawkeye with a 30mm drop?

 

You could but it will drive like **** but look monstrous

 

Yeah would probably have to run a lower profile tyre and ride would be bumpy as hell lol

 

Then buckle the damm alloys over a pothole and then buy a new set of rims and then.... and then.....and then....

 

so 18s where its at for no hassle, looking for some rims.
