I went from the standard 16" 5 spokes on my V4 STI to 17" wheels and it didn't feel as good on the road after that. Looked a lot better, especially since the 16" wheels were gold, and the 17" ones were silver and matched the car better, but the feel of the car on the road was compromised imho, so I reckon I'll stick with 17" wheels now

I am running 18 inch Rays 57F V speed alloys with 245/40's on my 2005 STI, The handling is much better and wheels are noticeably lighter than the standard 17's. they look great too

I run 235-40/18 to get a bit of relief from the bangin and crashing. Am refurbing some 17" Rota's for winter wheels so will soon be able to compare the difference.
