Hi there

What design of the wheels are you prefer or what makers you are preferring ?

I would have look on Nasioc threads and you will find there some nice wheels which should help you decide

If I would go with such wheels then Advan RS-D,XXR 530 or Drag DR31 and Work wheels which I would have look,but I wouldn't discount too Rota....We are run several different wheels on our wagon and we are tracked our wagon and we never have any issue with the wheel cracking etc

Hope this help

Thanks,Jura

What car do you have? Some wheels suit classics but not new age and visa vesa.
I personally would avoid rare or discontinued wheels because if you damage one your snookered.
Speedline, OZ and some of the prodrive are quite nice. 7 is the Sti width if I remember and a 17 7 width on a classic depending on tyre would catch the rear arches
Forget the classic comments just looked at your garage and you have an 02 bug

I have a 2002 but its got a hawkeye conversion and wide arch and now 3 door lol, at the min I have OZ superleggra 19 inch, but because of the wide arch I want wider wheels and thinking about going back to 18s just got to make sure they clear the 8 pots on the front and 6 pots on the rear

Hi there

Personally I preferred DRAG DR31 9JX17" with 255/40 ZR17,,all of those wheels and tyres cleared easily 8pots at front and 6pots at rear,on 17" we didn't have any issue with the brake clearance although there has been around few mm clearance

Assume are you running K-Sport or D2 brakes,if yes then you shouldn't have nay issue with the brake clearance with those wheels

Here is few pictures

















Hope this help

Thanks,Jura
