Any ideas people for cheap wheels for trackday. Phone Scoobybits today but they only had 3....that's 3 wheels not 3 sets Tried Motorsport Wheels too but they didn't have owt going either, so anyone know anywhere locally that's cheap and cheerful for some used wheels as don't really want to damage the pimpesque ones I've currently got if poss.

 

What car for?

 

2002 BugEye Sti Type UK.

Seen some 17" WRX Bugeye wheels on an ebay shop for ScoobyTeknix Ltd based in Thornton cleveleys, Lancashire - anyone heard of these guys?

Also any idea what wheels would be compatible would they need to be 17" at least or would 16" be ok?? Currently got 18"s on.

 

Got a set of 4 16" MY99 alloys in my garage with loads of part worn toyo's (about 3 sets) but dont think they will clear an STi brakes, has it got the gold brembos on? Sold the car on now and got a MY04 STi so not much use now

 

If it had been for a classic i might have been able to help - doh

 

Yep it's got the Brembos so poss won't fit.

 

Have the same problem with mine!

 

Hi, these are in the for sales:

If my car sells before the trackday I will have a set of as new STi alloys with RE070's showing 5+mm. One has a puncture repair. Was gonna put them on here at £400 no offers, but you could have 'em for £350. I know you wanted cheap but depending on the age/cond/style/tyres on your current road wheels (can't remember what yours has) you might want to use these for best and retire your current ones. Expecting a call today from the tw@t that redlined it on a test drive last night Probably won't hear a dickie though

 

Let's hope he's not reading this then .

Keep us posted on how you get on Dave and I may well take you up on that offer. Thanks for the scg discount of 50 quid you little star

 

Nah, knew **** all about Scoobs or driving but when did that stop anyone reading or posting on SNet As I was explaining the resonator mod his eyes glazed over and then he asked if I'd fitted a dump valve to the induction kit Couldn't grasp the concept that over 6k revs the torque is diminishing, so it's better to change up so's the revs reduce to about 4k and you are again in rising torque, as well as it making your engine last much longer.

 

Dave. A dump valve fitted to the induction kit is standard practice to people who fit go-faster stripes. We all know it adds at least 10% to BHP which is far better than any rising torque curve... I mean Torque? What's all that about... Just get that dump valve working LOUD.. someone will buy it then as that always means POWER!!!

 

Cheers my friend, may drop the chap a line....shame he's not up North mind.

 

if 16s fit I have a good set in 'for sale'

 

Just ensure that the wheels you get have an sti offset, etc as they will need to clear the brakes, 17 inch rims will be the minimum size I would think due to the size of the disc, caliper clearance will be a factor as I have seen wrx's with sti wheels but not the other way around..May be better to ask in the wheels forum area..If you want to see if 17" wrx will fit let me know as mine are off the car...

 

A dump valve fitted to the induction kit WTF was he on about

I'd hold on to it until a worthy owner comes along, at least they'll look after it.

A dump valve fitted to the induction kit .......................no I still don't get it

What next, drop links fitted to the air con

 

Cheers Ali. I posted in the Wheels section last night as a lad in 'ull has some 17" WRX std alloys from a Blobeye to see if these would fit but supposedly these won't clear the front Brembos
