Default 17 or 18 inch track wheels?

alright folks going for a set of inovit redlines with 888s to use at knockhill as my t1r's are fooked!

if i go for 18's will the alter the performance/handling of the car dramatically?

also where is the best place to get wheel/tyre packages?had a look on ebay and im not convinced, got screwed over on a set of speedlines for my evo a few years ago.

any help would be much appreciated.

Hi David,

I frequent the track often and have found 17's work better then 18's, even 16's if they fit over your brakes, The bigger wheel will make the car feel heavy and a bit floaty thruogh the left/rights.

As for where to buy, Havnt got any answers for that one, Been along time since I've bought new wheels

I got my Inovite Redlines from POTN.com, can't remember exactly how much for but I shopped around and they were the cheapest!

You may be best getting a set of new age STI alloy wheels for not much cash and putting tyres on those, unless your going for a totally new set of alloys?
