Default Classic's with Rota Rims ??

Hello everyone on SN, happy new year to you all.

I've been thinking about buying some Rota alloys for my 96wrx, either SRD/Redlines or GRA/Tarmacs, but having trouble finding pictures of black classics with they fitted. Preferably 17" with 215/40/17 tyres and in either anthracite or black.

Hopefully someone out there has them.

Thanks if you can help.

ps can you state what size, tyres and colour you have, cheers.

Very, very nice. I didn't think about the silver ones, but looks really good. I never thought about taking the spoiler off, but I like it, makes the whole car look lower and squater to the ground, looks meaner IMOH.

Did you go from 16" ? If so did you notice a big difference ?

Thanks for the pictures, look absolutely wicked !!!

Very nice too, what do you recon to the 18" on the handling front ? I put the car to most use on backroads etc but didn't what to compromise handling as I've read on SN with 18", but those look very nice.

MIne has Eibach springs aswell, so it is lower a bit, i already had 16's, but the Rota's are 1/2 inch wider which gives a different tyre shape. i like it!!

I've noticed no difference what so ever going from 17" to 18" in both handling and comfort
