No, but they do a superb range of offsets and rim widths !
I'd like some 8" x 17 track day wheels... but I'm chasing bhp at the moment !

I have TD Pro Race 1.2s as a set of track wheels 8x18 ET45, tight on rear wheelarches but otherwise fine. These are a light and strong wheel. Only caveat is that you need bigger cone wheelnuts (in common with most aftermarket wheels) as the holes do not have steel inserts like OE or Prodrive alloys so the standard small Subaru nuts will grind into the alloy. Bought mine mail order from Rochford tyres and they came with the right nuts.

Also do you know the part number for the wheel nuts I need?
If yours is tight I might have a problem in the wagon as it doesn't have the flared wheelarches(?)
7.5x17" ET53 would be perfect but ideally I would like some 18"s.
Do you think 8x18" ET 50 would be OK?
These will be my summer and track wheels, would I see a benefit upgrading to 18"s?
Thanks

We run 5 sets 9 x 17 pro race 1.3's on our race cars.
Identical to the 1.2's but have slightly beter brake clearences (so i was told)
They are as tough as old boots for their weight. Last year they took one or 2 knocks from other cars and all it does is scratch or chip the powder coating.
You can buy them direct fom rim stock. I dealt with a guy called mark Wain who was very helpfull.
They came with the correct nuts and centre caps aswell.
Not sure if you can see them in view my scooby.
Cheers Steve.
