Right guys, long story short........ 2 of the PFF7's on my car have been damaged and I have the option to get another set of wheels at someone elses expense. I dont want to take the mick price wise I just want what is due to me so suggest away. Pics would be good too!

Thanks
Andy.

can you post up a picture of your car, preferably from the side.

it would help to chose a set that suit it imo

EDIT: here are a few pictures of my type r with RAYS TE37's

and a few with the old wheels that are for sale at the right price

Volk TE37's are the perfect wheel for any classic impreza, I'd love a set but here you go with PWRC's on my Type R.

Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking about going for one of these below in a 17" rather than the 18"s I was running as i think it will improve handling. If anyone has an comments please shout out. My car is a MY98 STI type R, I will try and get some side shot pictures as soon as poss but its having some work done at the moment

so its going to be a few days.

I think I'm going to go for the Torque Drift in a 17"x8" with 215/40/17 tyres, as mentioned above by Matt I wouldn't have thought there would be any rubbing.

Matt is your car lowered at all or standard height? I was planning on giving mine a 30mm drop, was just wondering if there would be any issues with rubbing? Also can only find the Torque Drift in Bronze not Gunmetal, anybody got a silver car with bronze wheels they can post pics of please?

Andy.
