Looks spot on mate, really like it!! The carbon wing looks sweet!

If you can get some more pics up of your Rota GRA's, I'm looking at getting some in the next feww weeks, either those or the P-1's.

However, I thought the GRA's only came in an 18 x 7.5? Also are those with an offset of 48?

I'm not entirely too sure on the exact fitment of STi alloys but thought they were something like 17 x 8.0, offset 53, 114.3PCD.

I hope the GRA's will be suitable for mine as I really do like them.

this isn't about SN`s moderating team ??

bushiwarrior

they are 18"/8" 48 offset from rarerims thanks for your comments mate dunno what planet StickyMicky is on though or if hes having a conversation with himself random bloke.

magicgreg

Yeah, I didn't get that either.

Looks like your cash has been well spent so far though mate, some very tasteful mods done there.

I'm sure in another few weeks you will have done a bit more, its addictive this game!

Whats next on your list?

Nicci

That's what I was expecting too.

Much improved mate, but not a fan of the spoiler TBH. Are you sure they are 18x8 ? my rota catalogue quotes 17x7, 17x7.5 and 18x7.5. Are you going to up the power ?

Varboy

Looks great.

But take the STi sticker off the boot.

magicgreg

53WRX - Following what you said yesterday to me, thats why I questioned the fitment...

Also when I looked on the Rota site it said 18 x 7.5?

Ideally for an 07 STi what PCD ET should I be looking for when considering 18" alloys?

All comes down to preference but I love carbon fibre on black motors!

GazTheHat

Is it an STi or a WRX??

Not mutton dressed as lamb hopefully.

Love black!

I think bushiwarrior is running 18x7.5 ET48 5x100 which will be WRX fitment. His 17's would have been 17x7's so he has increased his wheel width in line with the size offered on the GB270's. The best or most common fitment for STi upgrades is 18x8 ET48 5x114.3 running 235/40/18. This is the size fitted to the RB320. Although ET51/46 is found on other Prodrive wheels offered for the STi and clears Brembos. I have 18x8 ET48 and I know this is the same on the Speedline Turinis I am looking at for next time. If you really want the GRA's it is worth a call to Matt or Julien at RareRims to see what sizes they can get. I had to ring to get the ET I wanted on the Torques. I think the BBS range are 18x8.5 which would be cool, but a bit pricey.

magicgreg

Cheers 53WRX, very helpful!!

Clearing the Brembos is the main issue, well if that size is good enough for the RB320 then its good enough for me. Must say that I would be gutted if the GRA's only came in 18 x 7.5 as I really do like them. The Rota P-1's aren't a bad compromise if thats the case though, I know they come in 18 x 8.0.

I think it looks spot on m8 very nicely modded

The other option is to buy the original wheels that the GRA's are copies of. 18x8.5 too

prodrive

magicgreg

They do look the business and I'm guessing have the price tag to go along with them

Thanks for letting me know though, didn't even realise they existed.

bushiwarrior

was told by the shop 18"x8" but if they are 7.5 hey what the heck. The defi bf's with the zero sports carbon gauge pod which does retain the clock is getting fitted in the morning at 9 am yippppeeee.

magicgreg

Get some pics up when all fitted mate!!

StickyMicky

what a bloody disapointment

Mikkel

Looking good. I do like black cars

Agree with others though, take the STi badgs off. Be proud of your WRX as that is what you decided to buy, not an STi.

finalzero

Like the Prodrive battery holder, very cool bit of item

mgcvk

Same wheels as mine. I'm pretty sure they don't do 8" width. Looks good enough to be Sti but I think better to debadge. Remember a similar thread a while ago. You're not attention seeking by any chance bushiwarrior?

bushiwarrior

my car gets enough attention and i dont think a little badge is gonna make much difference its already an in your face type of vehicle.

Varboy

True, but to your fellow Impreza driver it's the equivalent of putting a pair of socks down the front of your trousers.

Or a cucumber in the Derek Smalls tradition!
