Subaru WRX STI Upgraded with Volk Racing CE28SL + Continental MaxContact 7 at Autosport Tyreworld
A Lightweight, Track-Inspired Wheel & Tyre Upgrade for the WRX STI
The Subaru WRX STI has always been a favourite among performance enthusiasts — turbocharged power, rally-bred AWD, and aggressive styling.
When this stunning blue STI visited Autosport Tyreworld, the owner wanted a wheel and tyre setup that enhances handling, reduces weight, and adds a premium motorsport aesthetic.
We installed a highly sought-after combination:
💥 Wheels: Rays Volk Racing CE28SL
💥 Tyres: Continental MaxContact 7 — 235/40R18
This setup delivers exceptional responsiveness, improved braking feel, and a track-focused stance worthy of the STI badge.
