Default Pic request - Hawkeyes with 18" or 19" wheels
Anyone with pics to post up of your Hawkeye with 18" or even 19" wheels please feel free to do so

Although they aren't the lightest wheels about I like the looks of the Kahn RSV's, would be good to see some pics if anyone has them.

As with any motor increasing the size of wheel by 2" is bound to have an affect on overall performance of a car in all areas, by how much is the hawkeye affected by either putting 18s or 19s on? Anyone with experience of either please give you opinion.

Thanks in advance.

here you go matey

07sti in white with 18" gunmetal rota GRA's fitted





The car handles and rides far better with 18's on over the 17's as standard,less roll and a more "planted" feel through the steering

Bigger is not always better. 19" would ruin the handling and ride imho.
I would be interested to hear from people who have tried both 17" and 18".
The car may not be so forgiving with 18" on?

18" speedlines - need this size to get decent brakes behind. They aren't so blurry in real life fortunately.

That would be PFF7s then... the copies are normally called PF7s (not to be confused with the simliarly called PD7s that Prodrive originaly did for the classic) .

The PFF7s are a really popular choice it seems.

All look smart IMO though.

But I kinda like the motorsport background of the Speedlines and their clean simple looks,altho I don't think you can go far wrong with(genuine) PF7's.

don't like the RB320 wheels at all,sorry Mark

As for size 18's are my choice
You can sell your speedlines to me if ya like

Nice car/wheels
Do you have a side pic of the car with these wheels on? How much does each wheel weigh?
They look very similar to the Prodrive GC-010 but the prodrive ones cost a fortune!
