Anyone tried the wolf race jdm wheels?
Guys, very close to buying a set of graphite wolf race jdm Asia wheels for my wrb 2002 wrx. Going for 17"s as I want to keep the ride nice and pleasant!! Can't find many photos of new age imprezas running these on 17". Any thoughts or pics ?

The wheels will be fine. The company have been around a long time, and the products will be of been well tested and reviewed over the years. There will be no issue with quality on them.
Unbranded eBay specials though I would expect some potential issues, more so the weight of them - I had a set of unbranded Audi Rotors replicas, and the genuine ones side by side, the replicas weighed about 1kg more a corner, however they never broke from the lad who runs them on his super low car and pothole streets of South London. I hit a tiny pot hole with the Audi ones on standard suspension - it bent. Go figure.
Although, those wheels on a newage look positively gash, horses for courses, lots of gash looking Imprezas everywhere these days, so will look good amongst them in the Macc D car parks.

Thanks for the advice trinity, begining to change my mind now! My original plan was to get a refurb on my standard wrx wheels, they are standard silver at the moment and on a wrb bugeye don't look quiet right. I'm thinking a refurb and colour change on these again now! Possibly the standard gold colour or a graphite grey?

Mags on here normally stocks them, he is a bit pricey, but he holds stock which many others don't so worth a try...other than that, the usual places Rimstyle etc
Normally a few sets floating around second hand on ebay etc
If you want to do it properly, get the original Prodrive Pff7's, but you'll need to do some saving first
