Too common as muck man, not a fan of xxr, but they look ok.
I hate following the crowd

Very true busta I know exactly what you mean and respect your opinion :thumb:

I've always wanted a set for the last 8 years and these came up good price :) and I also really wanted to come away from the white Alloys so sold them then got these redone in a DIFFRENT colour to the norm really happy with how it's turned out

As long as you like, other people's opinions don't mean sh1t.
You build a car to your own happiness, not to impress others imo.
I just say how I see ;)

Thanks they are much better than the Bridgestone's I had on previously :thumb:

no more snaking when launching flat out it sticks much better than before and I had a twitchy pull when the roads had even abit of camber on the other tyres which has totally gone now aswell and it comes out of the corners much more stable now :)

As common as they are they still look very nice the concave on the xxr is a more enhanced in the flesh I find, nice one Z

It does sit lower just come off the ramp at time of the pics boss as the s203/type ra-r pink adjustable suspension that's on the car sits perfectly when settled ;)

Totally agree with the common as muck opinion if you can't beat them join them :lol1: :)
I had the same common as muck problem with the team dynamics I had on before totally fell out of love with them when seen on a Clio and then a Renault :cry:
Atleast these are mostly known to be common on subarus and also didn't cost me a single penny so happy days :lol::lol::lol: :D

Update :

All show and no go is an understatement :(
Sick of dodging potholes feeling every bump on the road enjoyment has gone totally :(
Low profile budget tyres don’t help neither :( not for me...

Result - SOLD awaiting pickup then back to 17” 235 45 17 Dunlop sp tyres which were and are the best set up for my car :)

Fair play to you mate, they looked good but a harsh ride is so annoying.
Any suggestions for a 17x8 for a pre widetrack sti ?
I’m thinking about going from 18 to 17 myself :thumb:
Again :rolleyes:

Nice one :thumb:

In my opinion the genuine sti 17” 7.5j are best for non widetrack unless you can source some genuine prodrive flowforming 18’s which would be my option with good tyres on :thumb:
