This whole thread started with the OP asking if he NEEDED an alignment after replacing wheels/tires, or if he got one after replacing his suspension parts and got new wheels a few weeks later if it would still be ok.
As a couple people (myself included) have already stated, if you haven't had alignment in years or 50k miles (80k km's), then you're due for one, but just the action of changing wheels/tires does not automatically mean you need an alignment. Further to that, with almost no adjustment from the factory, what exactly is an alignment going to do on these cars? The only thing that can be adjusted without buying aftermarket parts is front and rear toe.
