Cost me £570 with lockin wheel nuts ,wheels only though had tyres off of last set of 18`s, that included fitting old tyres so didnt think that was too bad.

Would expect wheel and tyre package to be very reasonable though at that.

richiewong 10 October 2004 09:32 AM

Sorry for the thread high jack but Revolution are doing them to, £999 with 215/35/18 Toyo T1-S
Tempted but skint :rolleyes:

Also http://www.rarerims.co.uk/wheels.html are doing 18's, no tyres, for £520 (called SDR/Redline) :eek:

I guess the main difference between these and the Prodrive wheels (apart from the price;) ) would be the strength and the weight.
How much do they weigh and what offset are they?

Look good by the way.

Guess u get what you pay for,im under no illusion that these are gonna be anywhere near the strength and the weight of the prodrive originals,just for me i think theres very few wheels that look right on an impreza,could probably narrow it down to 5 if im honest (dont make me name them or i can see many arguments looming)and i am sort of on a budget.If your after details either call or e-mail dare themselves,cant see wheelworx knowin the weight off the top of their head-didnt want anything too light to be honest i know a few people thats had issues with superleggy`s so put me off light wheels a bit and then my own experience with k2`s cracking so im hoping fingers very crossed these will be ok. (watch this space)

I didn't when i bought the caps but just assumed that the centres would be the same size and i could make them fit if needed. Luckily they clipped straight in :)

nice looking car,i dont suppose you have just had some work done on the front have you(raised springs??) or had you just that second put the wheels on??,reason i ask is that to my eyes it looks like the front wheels are running positive camber and they should be negative,back wheels look ok,just thought id mention it incase you had,if you've had the front ride height raised that will increase positive camber and you'll need it setting back to negative camber.

austen_wrx 06 January 2005 06:58 PM

No, i think its just the angle of the photo, the car has standard suspension at the moment.
