I've spend a couple weeks figuring out the best wheel+tire+suspension setup for the $ and I think I've finally got down a great combination for what I'll be doing. With $1500 to spend.

Basically, I plan to use my car for the occaisional track event but it'll still be street-worthy.

16" Rota subzero wheels - $450 (even though these are cast wheels, they seem popular amount budget trackers)
205/55/16 Hankook Ventus Tires - $250
KYB AGX - $400 for a set
front alignment kit (both wheels) - $40
RS-R HD Race Springs - $270

What do you guys think? Anyone ever had problems with any of these items? I still need to find a set of urethane bushings, can anyone give me a source?

BTW, if you guys know of a cheaper source for these items plz let me know.

Im not going to put expensive forged comp wheels on a street car. Rotas have a good reputation as far as reliability, they're relatively light, and replacing one isnt that expensive. Since I wont be rallying, forged wheels are just not necesary.

Yea the only thing that bothers me is the offset.

For not much more money, you could get Kosei K1's in good sizes and offsets. Besides, subzeros have been known to break under hard cornering. I remember seeing a pic of a WRX with subzeros and all of the spokes cracked and sheared off at the center of the wheel. Bad news. Tirerack even has k1's. Very nice wheels. Very nice prices.

u dont have to pay mad money for quality wheels. im juss saying..+40? 16x7? skinny *** **** with a deep sunkin look. when i said quality wheels..i meant anything that is like 16x8 or fatter..and anything not +40

becuz somebody said "quality wheels" doesnt mean u go out and buy Advans or something

you can get koseis for 600 a set..and im not sure about those hankooks, theyre pretty cheap stuff, id prefer kumho 712's, same price, but they just seem better. put it this way, i always see hankooks on those "Tire and rim" packages, which they usually use cheap crap for. so...
