What..???????


So why are they a factory option for the P1 and the MY02 and MY03 impreza..???

Ive had no handling problems at all with mine, if you buy the right tyres the wheels end up the same diameter as the 17's with 40 profile tyres on..!!

TBH I don't particularly like either. Sorry.

Save for a bit longer and get something else.

I run 18" wheels and am more than happy with handling. Acceleration is a little slower, as probably is braking, as they are heavier than the OE 16s. Worth it though for the huge imrovement to styling.
