Help me decide on alloys!
Right, finally going to start getting the sti to how I want it.
First off is the alloys.
Here's the scoob at the moment:
I am going to have the skirts colour coded, maybe an sti5 rear wing and either just add an sti3/4 front lower spoiler, or go for a P1 conversion.
And here are my favourite choices do far:
Boost - Rare Rims
The first two would be 17's where as the PFF7 copies would have to be 18's. ( 17's don't look as good in my opinion)
Here's old scooby with rota boosts for reference:

I've done many thousands of miles on both 17's and 18's on my MY99 and IMO the only difference is that you have to be a little more careful around potholes - handling feels the same to me. On this evidence, i would pick 18's every time.
Not keen on the boosts myself so would probably opt for the PFF7's

Forgot to add, I don't want P1 alloys. That's what everyone has! 
But, I spose the same could be said for the PFF7's.

The RE037's Rays alloys look nice on the classic. I think I have the correct name for them could be wrong though.
Of the ones above the ones above the PFF7's look best IMO.

This is a really tough one as it's all down to your personal taste.
I would probably stick with 17's on a classic as you can still get a set of AP's behind most of them.

seriously though, i prefer 18s on a classic, id love my wheels (p1 would you believe
) in 18"215 or 225/35/18 fits no problem chris.
as long as you get it looking as fresh as the old red one you had mate, there will be no hassle from me

Decided on the PFF7 replicas, especially when midland wheels told me the price they could supply them for!
