Blob STI Rota Blitz

Fitted these today, bit more agressive than the standard gold wheels. Also went with the Yoko AD08's but not had chance to try them out on the road.

Also i think these are the first set on a newage car

17x8 225/45

These would look great in 18" but I like the price of 17" tyres

Just a little comment - the rear looks a little low compared to the front? The car should have a very slight nose down attitude. Maybe drop the front 2 or 3mm (1 - 1.5 turns) and take the rear up a couple of mm? I kept the same front to rear height differential as with the Prodrive springs originally on the car but the car is lower overall.
By the way, what damper settings are you using (clicks from soft)

I ended up going with revolution as I needed to use their finance option to get a set of tyres at the same time.
