I think it's time I changed the wheels on my Hawkeye WRX, I've never really liked the standard wheels and I'm about due for new tyres plus I've got plans for new ARB's, anti lift etc so I think the time is right as I can get my coilovers and geometry set up all in one go.

I've decided to go for the Inovit Redlines 18" in white, I would go for the original prodrive's but I don't think they are available new anymore and I'm not keen on second hand wheels. I presume these wheels would be just as strong as the standard ones? I've had a search on the net and I can't see anywhere saying to avoid getting them.

Does anyone have any recomendations for where to get them from? I am in Leicester but I don't mind travelling a bit to get them. There seems to be a lot of places that sell them but if I can find somewhere that will set my suspension up at the same time that would be great. My coilovers are set for the standard 17's at the moment so I need to get them altered at the same time as fitting the wheels

Next thing is what tyres to go for, apart from my suspension the car it pretty much standard, there are no performance mods or changes to the brakes. I use the car every day for work so it'll be doing about 14,000 miles a year. I'd like decent tyres but something that will last 12 months at least. I've got 20K miles from the standard bridgestones, I've always though these are ok so anything like these would be fine. Can anyone recommend what tyres to get?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks in advance

 

im hopefully getting a couple of new sets in stock in a few weeks

 

i have these on my hawkeye and have falkens 452 and find them great,

also had eagle f1 and they were superb but slightly dearer

 

Cheers guys. Can anywhere suggest somewhere a bit more local to buy the wheels from?
