I believe Mike Wood from Prodrive has posted before that 18" is the recommended wheel size.

If your car is a new 05,then you aren't going to be spoilt for choice at the moment.

The new STi's have a different PCD to other Imprezas

...if its an 04 or earlier then you can't go far wrong with 18'' Speedline Turini's..or you could go horribly wrong and fit some 19'' super Leggs(Boo!)

18's apparently for best handling and comfort, 19's a little too uncomfortable and they tend to bounce cos of teh lower sidewalls.
