17 or 18's?
Hi guys,
just wondering what to go for when i change the wheels on my 02( yes the ugly one!!) wrx. should i swap for the OZ prodrive 17s or 18s. i want to keep the handling as close to what it is now and was told that putting 18s on will upset the balance of the car??? any help will be welcome.
thanks.

I run 18" OZ Chronos on my Classic but with 215/35/18 tyres so overall, they're not that different to the OE wheel/tyre diameter.
I've not noticed any adverse effect to the handling of my car. I get a bit more road noise and I have to keep my eyes peeled for potholes, but i can live with that.
Might be different on your version though.
