Default Wheel Options

Looking for some opinions and reviews of wheels you have.

I want to stay with 17" wheels, as the road round here are a bloody disgrace!

Looking to run 235/45/17 tires, if they are good enough for the spec C they should be good enough for my wrx lol.

I'm guessing I will need 8j wheels, would I get away with 7.5j?

What wheels do you recommend? Budget of around 400/600.

Thanks.

8J is the lowest width I'd want to go with 235/40/17

And for that money, you are really looking at something cheaper I.E XXR's or Rotas...

Could get the below for £634.80 which would look awesome...
