Default Wheel swap?

Hi guys

I'm looking to swap my wheels for some smaller ones.

Currently i have some 18" Oz P1-WRC wheels and ideally looking for some 16" classic STI wheel with some cash my way but will take a look at what you got.

Tyre wise, 2 are falken 452 with 5-6mm and 2 are p-zeros with 3-4mm.

Alloys are a little scraped up but track and run straight.

Thanks

Why not the OE RB5 alloys?

Even better! But they don't come round very often and are quite thin on the ground.

I think the car looks great as it sits to be honest. Would Sti 16's suit the RB5?

Agreed, the car looks lovely, hate the way it drives on the 18" though, too harsh for day to day use.

Not to bothered about looks at the moment, was just thinking about releasing some cash and then sourcing some OEM speedline's for the new year.
