Question Thinking of getting some new alloys...

What do I need to consider? I have an MY97 classic Impreza, and it's running on the old 17" Speedlines at the mo, but they're in dreadful condition, and after hitting a pothole last weekend, I'm fairly sure one is dented.

I have seen a set with tyres from a place near Manchester, which costs about £750, and they're okay - more Speedlines, and gold (of course).

Do I need to consider anything else in terms of fitting them? I see people talking about ETnn values (??) and also about different nuts.

Can anyone offer some advice?


Cheers.

Question

These are the wheels. Does anyone know if these will fit over the 4 pots, incase I decide to upgrade my brakes?

There from Wheelbase I see. I got some from here last December saw them on ebay as u have and mailed them because i wanted 215 Yokohama instead 205 Yokohama tyres, and they said that if i rang up and paid on card the same day they would do this upgrade in size for free still Yokohama's. So i accepted this and paid. When they had finished my car after taking a dreadful amout of time to do.I mean hours I drove home and noticed that they hadnt put the tyres I wanted on they had put sum cheap crap on. And also the centre cap emblems always fall off ive had too keep regluing them on(been out today) again. I wouldnt bother with them mate.Would buy from else where as my friend has had trouble with his from same place.

There's a place near where I work called Silverline who sell Speedlines - and they might be cheaper, especially if the existing tyres from my current wheels can be swapped over. Cheers for the heads-up.
