.

Just ordered a set of those for my 7 - and after seeing those piccies I know I've made the right decision, they look really really good
. Should arrive in the next couple of weeks so will be fitted at the same time as the prodrive springs.
What tyres have you put on them?? (Excuse my ignorance
-trying to decide between Bridgestone (current tyre), GoodYear F1s or Toyos)
Nice car you have, another lovely 7 in the right colour

Cheers everyone for the kind comments .
These wheels came with Yokohama AVS sport 225/40 ZR18s fitted. Never tried them before but they definitely feel better than the standard Bridgestone 17s....not sure if this is down to the tyre or the upgrade in size. I think if I was buying tyres from new I'd try the F1s, but I guess its finding tyres that suit your driving style and budget.

Hi Mark.
Very nice car.
Re your exhaust, is the Blitz a full system or just a backbox and how do you find it day to day, is it really loud?
Only asking as I have been offered a full system and am trying to get some background info.
Thanks in advance.

James, yep the Nur Spec R is the "full" system. It replaces the backbox (which includes optional bung), and the centre section. On the UK STi, you will also need to replace the front centre section with a new link piece to mate the downpipe to the blitz centre piece. I got all of this from JW Racing.
As for volume, I think you can safely say its loud. I had the bung in for a day, but took it out after it started rattling. The Blitz makes a great sound (even with the standard downpipe), and can be heard from quite a distance...just ask Maffa who text me from the pub the other night to say he'd heard me drive past !
I'm not sure I'd recommend the Blitz if you have kids, or an other half who might find the in-car noise a bit annoying. Oh and it also helps if your neighbours are car-friendly.
As a cautionary note, consider the possible warranty implications, and noise regulations for track and road.
