Does any one know where i could get a fairly cheap set of rims with a negative offset for racing on my wrx?

Question

Like a 38 offset

Answer 1

Look on ebay.com, craigslist.com and call the local wrecking yards.

Answer 2

If you're really going racing (not just trying to look racy) then skip the "cheap" part of the equation -- you don't need to spend a fortune, but you don't want to buy a wheel that will crack during autocrossing or time trialing.

Also, as for the negative offset -- do you really believe that this will improve your handling compared to the offset that the car's engineers picked? You're much better off looking into tire choices/pressures and aftermarket suspension mods to improve the handling, and odds are -- unless you've been racing for years, and are consistently pushing your car right up against the limits, which requires more skill than most people have -- you'll get much more speed out of practice, practice, practice than you will out of a mechanical upgrade.

Here's how you tell: practice, practice, practice until you're running consistent times in your car, and can't figure out how to go faster. Then, get a ride in someone else's car, someone who has the same car but with suspension modifications that you're considering. If you immediately start turning faster laps than with your own car (and consistently), purchase the upgrade(s) -- if not, or if your lap times are inconsistent in the same session, spend the money on track time.

Having said all that: The Tire Rack. Highly recommended for wheel/tire purchases and advice.
