Default My 98 classic RS->STi : need some input






I've been considering some new wheels and maybe some exterior work.
I'm really fresh out of ideas for the wheels. I can't find VOLK TE-37 in 17x8 or 18x8 in the right colours (grey or gold)

I also am dying for a wide-arch kit, and the WRC front and rear bumpers, but I haven't heard any reports of owners with the kits on long term and how durable they are?

I loved the look of this car over in Kyoto

but I thought his wheels were too SMALL! I also don't like the 98 classic gold 5 spokes. They look a bit dated to me.

I did manage to score THIS the other day:



any recommendations on what direction to take next? l'aunsport makes a nice 22b arch kit... how does it hold up over long term.

lovley looking motor matie..

If it were mine i'd change the wheels. nice black set of 18's.

Take a look at ABW's work on the essex forums. thev'e done a wide arch kit for the classic..bit cheaper than l'aunsport..

White Rota GRA 17x8 or 18x8 but only if you go ahead with the Wide arch kit. If not the widest I'd go would be 7.5 on a classic.

These are 17x7.5 on an RA I sold not to long ago.

Wide-arch kit supplier closer to you;

AeroSim Research Ltd.

What to choose though, fibreglass or carbon?
