BK Racing are doing Gold or Anthrocite 17" STI Alloys @ £89 each.

I bought the Antrocite look good also, it's not shown on the Picture, when they came Has a Black Subaru Logo insert in each Wheel.

BK Racing Limited UK - Alloy wheels. The UK's finest alloy wheel company. Wheels, Car accessories and high performance products

See what you think.

I got 4 alloys with a set of Marshall Racing Tyres for £650 delivered last year from them.

Dan, I know you didn't like the STI Anthrocite wheels in the Pic @ BK Racing, they woulfd look good on yours I 'm sure.

By the way, I've got F**K all to do with BK Racing, just trying to help a fellow Scoooby personnget the 17" wheels they asked for help on.

Good Luck.

Regards

Dan,

When you go onto the BK Racing Link, click wheels, then Wheel Gallery.

The STI'S are Part No BK984, click on the Wheel for a bigger picture.

I've noticed they have gone down in price to £82.19.

Good Luck.

Regards

Thanks they do look good wish they where in a metalic black though thats the kind of look i would like.

I would just save up for the ultralite spce alloys but iv not heard very good things about alloys larger then 17" like it makes the speedo inaccurate and you lose some of the handling due to the lower profile tyres. Iv never had 18s though so im just going on what iv heard
