I'm with you there, one of my favourites. And yes they are indeed Advan RG's

Sooo light, you can feel the difference between them and cheap (heavy) 17's. Want some lightweight nuts now (freckin dear though)

Cheers for the comments, anyone want some 17" BK racing wheels??

Made up with these (especially for what I payed)

Quite pleased with the condition of the type r actually, it's a really clean car (even under the arches)

Cheers people

Now don't go an spoil it.
No chance mate, debated for a while whether to even change the original wheels and put clear indicators/repeaters on. Visually it's staying as is, just debating on Power FC and downpipe because I know what a difference a decat makes on Imprezas and allready the acceleration is good

Only thing I'd consider is a facelift bumper with a P1 front splitter, plus possibly crystal front lights. She's a beauty

Maybe the only think i would do to the exterior would be a sti 5/6 rear hight level wing. and maybe a later version bumper maybe even a P1 item As DJ Dunk said. But the car looks fine as it is.

Done the big spoiler thing years ago on an old impreza, prefer the more understated look now (getting old )
