18's are too big for a classic imo......

lower it or......... put the old ones back on. get them refurbed if needs be.

Hmmmmmmmn. I'm undecided, multispokes look better than the old design, but unsure on the colour. They do fill the arches nicely though, but definetly needs lowering.

Plus a P1 splitter would look the nuts on that, for some reason frontend looks higher now, so imo a splitter needed to balance it out if you know what I mean

Its all personal taste at the end of the day, but the wheels are not bad - I think a little more of a dark gold colour would of suited, or keeping it fairly OEM and put some 01-02 WRX wheels on it.
Just needs lowered a touch I think.
At the end of the day, if you are happy with them then thats all that matters
(ps I meant to say ur car looks mint!)

I'm a big fan of gold on DBM but they are a bit too yellow for my liking,

Better than standard, maybe get them gunmetal grey by a top notch refurb specialist once they pick up a few scratches.

I've been out of the car scene for a good number of years, and its been a while since Ive seen gold alloys. They still look good on a car, especially a Subaru or Renault Clio Williams.

I like the new alloys. The gold is a little off, but who's taking notes.
Nice Impreza and in a great colour too.

The new alloys are mint. Looks way better imo. Get those lowering springs will you.
That silver classic in the back ground looks brilliant.
