I have the Prodrive mudflaps on mine, look good and not too big.

So you swap them for the MOT and chip your teeth when you hit a matchstick?

Replied to your other thread about stretched wheels!!

Yes I will swap for MOT I dont notice any difference in ride quality with these tyres compared to when they where on 18x8" wide rim, as the tyre is the same as it would be on a smaller rim!!

The car drives spot on, doesnt feel hard and thats with the coilovers on, a few of my friends on here will tell you who have been in the car, that its no harder then there cars with shocks/springs and running standard wheels!!!

Do they not make your ring piece twitch a little when you go round a bend a little too quickly and fear the tyre might just pop off the rim?

Not really, The Vredestein tyres I have on the car now the alloy doesnt stick out as much, seems to bead to the alloy better, that picture was with the Toyo T1R tyres, and they are crap to be honest!!! Ill get a picture with the vredestein tyres on they fit the alloy much better, it was all trial and error with the tyres as some tyres dont work well stretched!!

As for going round bends really quickly, Ive never had problems, doesnt seem to drive any different at all, and if I worried about every little thing about driving a Impreza I would never drive one!!!
