in reality, you should only need an alignment done if you do suspension work. You'll be fine driving on new wheels with out it until you can get that control arm bushing and swaY bar link put in.
Really, how many KM's are you going to put on in a week?

Blah blah blah another blabber, changing your suspension isn't the only way your alignment gets thrown off. Why not ask the man, what makes you feel as though you need a wheel alignment? There are many scenarios that may cause for you to loose proper alignment.

wheels will be ok. and js max: changing your wheels requires an alignment if you change the overall diameter.

I would recomend getting an alightment, your width with aftrmarket rims and overall diameter is prolly diffrent, maybe not buy much but I would get alightment to make sure the tires wear evenly.
