I would go for 18's on a newage personally, but if you prefer the ride of 17s they are a nice wheel and good quality...but a bit, dare I say, dull?

As much as I love Rota Grids, I think they ruin the handling tof the car, maybe Ultralite Atec 2's, always loved those.

They tram line and you cant drive the car hard as they rub, The steering also feels heavy, I would never go with 18x9.5 on a Impreza again, kills the way it should handle/feel.

Ah right I thought you meant Rota Grid's in general, so what you really mean is any 9.5" wide wheel will ruin the handling not just the grids

8.5 it's the best to go, 9.5 arch work then silly camber work.
