Default Help Wanted for wheel choice

I'm looking for some wheels to fit over a set of Brembos on a WRX.

Can you help me with the offset required and any ideas on what to choose and where to buy?

Details here if you need to know anything else.

Appreciate the assistance.

Sorry Richie I must be thick. Which manufacturer are they listed under? Replica down the bottom or elsewhere?

Click Subaru on the left hand menu and then wheels and tyres

Give the lads a ring and see if they'll do you a discount

Dhoh,

Working on my D410 and the screen is tiny. Didn't notice the length of the page just kept clicking the Main Wheel and Tyre section button!

How stupid do I feel? but not afraid to admit it.

Cheers.

After a fair bit of deliberation I'm thinking PFF7 replicas. I think that it has to be 18's due to the offset required for the Brembos.

Anyone know of a wheel out there that I should look at as well?

Thanks for the ideas.

Finally decided on Gold Rota GRA's 18" with F1 tyres. Rarerims.co.uk Top service and great price on the F1's. Why settle for Toyo when F1's are only a few pounds per corner more? Come January Feburary I know I'll be happy.

Also thought while i am there some Braided hoses from Alyn (Stockcar on here) at a very good price plus fluid. Shame they have gone to Plymouth first! Business Post I hate you! Another day to wait now but thanks for trying Alyn.

Will post some pics when they are on.

Any tips on bleeding the entire system anyone?

Thanks for the suggestions.

Gazz.
