Thinking of wheel change to
SET OF ROTA GRA ALLOY WHEELS
7.5 x 18"
5X100 PCD
ET48
Either gunmetal or black, question which ones and fitment issues.

Of you're buying new wheels, why 7.5s
I'd go 8s at least. As for colour I'd go classic gold. Works so well with the blue and dark wheels have been done more times than an Ibiza holiday rep!

Frayz, cheers They seem not to do the GRA in 8" only the 7.5", the bronze does look good and do see the point of keeping with the gold.
Any suggestions of other?

Depends what you want. If you're into splitters and diffusers and after a track look then go for a track wheel. Personally I like the Tarmac spec WRC look. So if always go for a rally inspired rim. Compomotive, Speedline, Revolution etc.
I don't think you can beat gold rims on a blue Impreza. It just looks so classic.

The GRA's look good in Gunmetal and they're the right offset
