Looking for a set of black light wheels for my face lift classic wagon. Was trying to get Team Dynamics Pro Race in black which i like. But saw these on ebay and not sure if they are any good. Both way cheaper than the Team Dynamics wheels. Any opinions on the would be appreciated.

Ideally you don't want 8" wide fitment. 215/40/17 tyres work best on 7's or 7.5's.

I have Rota Torques 17x7.5 ET48.

Hey 53wrx, cheers for advice. So what's wrong with 8" wide?. Do i want it wider or narrower?. Im a total dunce with wheels. I barely understand offset etc. Its all porridge to me man. I have 17" 01-06 wrx wheels on it now. My car is lowered about 30mm with standard shockies.

Sorry man!! re-read your post narrower then.

Yes if you go 8's then 215's will be well stretched and the handling will be worse and the rims exposed beyond any rim protection that the tyre might offer. I run MY08 Brembos so I went with a slightly wider wheel and lower offset to accommodate the callipers

I have been educated i feel enlightened.

I'll get searching again.
Really appreciate the help, as ever here. Top stuff.

You can use their virtual fitting bay with a pic of your own car to see what different styles look like.

Rota Torques are my fav in classic fitment
