Default What wheels for my red wrx??

What wheels you guys reckon would suit my wrx???

Definatly will be wanting 18's, but what wheel?
I cant make a decision, so far Ive thought about white tarmacs, black redlines with red lip. Any ideas?? got about £800 max to include tyres.





Thanks in advance.

How about...

18 inch White Rota GRA's (same as Inovit Tarmacs I think) with 225/40 Falken 452 tyres?
(very similar looking to the Prodrive WRC1 rims)

Paid £852 for the Rims, tyres and fitting all in.

Rims from Rarerims and Tyres from a local garage. (Mytyres.co.uk do them too)

(The Prodrive centre caps are an after mod btw)

I know it's not a red car, but white wheels do look great, and the cleaning is definately worth it.

Rota GTRs, 8x18 with 235/40 Falken 452s on a 50mm drop

lol! Know what you mean, the spokes can be a pain to clean but white looks nice after a gd clean imo. You could always go for White PFF7 replicas, i think you can get them, not sure what they are called but both Inovit and Rota have a very similar wheel to the PFF7's. Dont think I've ever seen White PFF7 replicas on a scoob, they would be easier to clean too with less spokes and a simpler design. Try doing a photoshop mock up.

I've always liked your car on the dark rims, it makes it look mean If you do change then stick with dark ones!

What suspension are you running? That's the drop i'm after. Any scraping?
