Default Hi ! & What Wheels for Hawkeye Sti?

Hi im new to scoobynet so thought i would say Hi!

Just bought 07 Hawkeye Sti, going to pick her up this saturday cant wait!!

Anyway i was wondering if anybody can recomend some nice wheels i can put on her? If anybody has any pics of there hawkeye or even some nice wheels on there blob eye that would look good on a hawkeye would apreciate if you could post them.

Aside from that if any body could post some links to some nice wheels.

I prefer black wheels over any thing else, my previous 04 blob eye sti had Inovit Redline Black and i loved them. Just not so sure how they would look on hawkeye.

Oh and 17s or 18s?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!!

IMHO the Enkei wheels that come as standard are the nicest looking.

Revolution Millenium's or Rota Drift look good too.

Agreed!. I looked all over for replacement wheels but unless I was going to spend fortunes on good quality wheels ( love advans), I couldn't see anything I prefered, so I did this:

All those Subs are amazing but they have caused me a big problem....

Am spoilt for choice!!!!

Luckyscoob those are the rims ive got on mine now, did you black em out your self or get them done from somewhere?

Cause even though i would like to buy some new rims (probably rb320 rims although they cost 1 K +) i dont have as much funds as i would like so i will probably black em out too....

Although all these subs will come in handy when it does come down to upgrading my rims.!

Oh and are 17s better, because i hear you lose a little performance with 18s especially in corners but i could be wrong.... Im no expert lol.

Thanks Everyone for ya posts.

Yep, I have a mate who is in that line, so we took them off the car, rubbed them down and sprayed them Met Grey.

Like you, I really fancied the RB wheels, but cant afford it at the moment, so this was the next best thing. All in all cost me about £70 with paint, laquer etc. Plus, putting RB320 wheels on a black Sti kind of looks like i'm trying to make it something its not........ its way quicker
