What about these?

So, if I get 17's, will I be able to just put them on or will I need additional work doing? Im not on about alignment or balancing though

they seem to fill the arches better than the 17s on the red scoob (page 1) with 01 wrx alloys, is your car lowered, i may get some o2 wrx 17s for my sti 4.

Damn these are fine! I found these today and I know they are the ones for me... a little bit bling but understated enough I think ... comments? (not that I care LOL)

SG, stick with 17s if only because so many people with 18s have fitting problems (rubbing), also upset the handling for various reasons and then buckle the rims when you hit a pothole, wrecking the tyre at the same time.

Most things have been covered in this thread but don't be deluded into thinking that bigger tyres means more grip. It doesn't. It might feel like it does with less roll and better steering feedback (plus a hefty dose of placebo effect) but ultimate grip remains constant, all other things being equal.

If you really want to improve your car, fit some good tyres. Lots of opinions here, but I think everyone agrees that Goodyear Eagle F1s are up there with the very best. 215/40x17 on a 17x7in wheel with ET50 to 52 off-set for optimum handling and trouble-free fitting.

Ok ya got me! na i got my 18's bolted on before i picked the car up so i guess i have no comparison but like i say it still handles pretty well for havin big rims.

forgot to say yes this is my daily drive but i will be getting some winter wheels asap!!

Beg, borrow or steal some 17's and you will be amazed at the difference...after all if they were that good sulrely Subaru\Prodrive would have offered them as a 'Performance' upgrade !?
