Prodrive Wheels for WRX
hey guys,
im looking to buy a 2003 Subaru wrx with the prodrive pack on it, but id like to change the wheels,
you guys know where i can get a set of prodrive wheels? in black? seen them on some STis and other cars, like a multi spoke thing?
seen some similar on ebay, Innovit Redline ones, look good, what size would u recommend for a WRX? 18" or 17" ?

18's with 225/40/18 rubber, this is recommended for PPP cars.
If they are black then they've probably been refurbed in that colour or aftermarket replica's.

Innovits? Yeah loads of people running them on here with no issues, just get decent rubber and increase you pressures.
Personally run 36f and 34r but thats my preference for 18's

cant thank you enough mate,
might get Yokos parada spec 2 on them all, what they like on? good reviews?
just need to get the car first! black on black, you think it might need lowering to ? or will 18"s fit the arches well?

Goodyear F1's, had GSD3's and now just scrubbing in Assemetrics.
Both get good reviews as do Vredestein Sessanta.
Think Parada's aren't bad though.
With 18's you can lower it, I'm running Prodrive spings with mine.

Just fitted 18" Black Inovit Redline with 225/40/18 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tyres as I couldn't get hold of Toyo T1-R's.
Wheels luck the muts but not so happy with the tyres.
I've done over 350 miles with them and they are loosing grip at 60mph!
Had much more grip with standard 17" Bridgestones!

Check in my profile for pics of 18's on my wrx... Will post new pics up tonight with it lowered by 35/25mm, looks much better lowered, fills the arch's better.

Prodrive springs, on a WRX, are blue and cost anywhere between £350~400ish supplied and fitted at a dealer and are not part of the PPP.

I have some Prodrive 18" WRC-1 wheels that I might be selling if you wanted more spokes than the PF7s. Mine are anthracite though, not black. See my profile for a pic.
