18" Wheels On My Type Ra

[tommo9375]

Had a set of 18" alloys lying in the garage so decided to give them a quick paint and try them out on my RA .Suit the car but i feel it handels better with 16" wheels,here's a couple pics after i gave it a much needed wash...

Pics not too clear due to dull weather -typical.

That's Tidy! I like that!

White RA's with black wheels look immense. If I was on the look out for a scoob, white would be top of my list

Cheers for the comments guys,i'm fed up cleaning my white speedlines so they're up for sale ,suits the black wheels better i think.

I like the look of them Tommo go well with the car being white, Your RA looks the dog's.

I've got the 17's on mine & it really holds the road well when your pushing it on,

I take it your going to hang on to it for a wee while yet

I'm keeping an eye out for some 17's Bobby ,but don't tellthe missus.....

Yes did think about selling it but would miss it too much and i've spent a few ££££ on it,planning to do a few track days this year (maybe Knockhill this weekend)and take it from there.

You keeping yours now?

[bobbyc]

After playing with it down at Kames It was so much more fun to drive I'll be keeping it for a wee while yet, probabaly store it over winter & do a bit of work on it, mines is standard & compared to some of the modded beasts it goes like stink.

[tommo9375]

Good to hear your keeping it Bobby ,the RA's are 'something special' and lots of fun to drive.Might start tweaking mine after the summer as well .

Felt nippy enough to me that day Bobby, good man keeping it !

Looks good Tommo. 17's may sit a little better on it but the colour/style definitely complement the car !

It's a WRX RA ,only the STI's had roof vents

[tommo9375]

Did a bit more work on the RA today ,changed the gearbox oil ,fitted new spark plugs and a new seat .Car running great now with the new plugs.Decided to stay with 16" alloys and put my old ones on whist i paint the white Speedlines 'BLACK' .

Decided to stay with 16 's as it seems to handle better and i think it suits the car ,so sprayed the Speedlines and fitted them today ,i really like the White/black look .
