18" Speedline Turinis in silver
As new condition, fitted with Continental Sport Contact 2 N2.
Approx 1,000 miles use, all wheels unmarked and wheels/tyres as new.
Pics to follow.
£1,400 for a new set, so sensible offers please, buyer to collect.

Blurb :
The Speedline Turini is a lightweight yet incredibly strong 11 spoke, 1 piece flow-formed aluminium wheel available in silver or gold.
Offset is ET48 and 8x18" size (New Age Impreza only & STI7/8)
The high-tech flow-forming process is based on a different concept to normal casting: starting from a cast flange, with a very thick internal lip (about 3 cm) and a narrow rim width, it is possible to produce a complete wheel through heat spreading material on the rims.
This produces a wheel with extraordinary mechanical characteristics combined with very thin rim thickness, in turn allowing very strong yet lightweight wheels.
A flow-formed rim has an average thickness of 2,7 mm against 4,5 mm of a normal cast wheel: an 18" wheel, for example, represents a weight saving of around one kilo, a great benefit in un-sprung weight reduction.
The flow-formed wheel is lighter than a normal aluminium wheel but also has better mechanical characteristics (resistance, elasticity, longevity): these extraordinary features are obtained by a particularly compact crystalline structure of the metallic alloy, similar in structure to "wood fibres

These are the best wheels for the new age Impreza IMHO.
The wheels above suit new age cars perfectly and appear to have 225/40/18 tyres which is the correct fitment.

BOUGHT!
I think the silver wheels complement the black paintwork perfectly - I'm very pleased. Thanks for your hospitality and help fitting the wheels Russell. It was a pleasure doing business with you.
