New Scooby WRX owner (and alloys)...
Picked up my new Scooby WRX from fellow Scoobynetter - volcom - yesterday evening.
The car is absolutely amazing and the power is unrelentless as soon as you pass 3200 revs or so and the turbo kicks in. This is my first turbocharged car and it is so different to my CTR where you get a kick at 5800 revs. I have also found the WRX to be a lot smoother (and quieter on the motorway) than my CTR and the seats are superb at holding you in place and in comfort. I haven't had time to play around with it much yet but the early signs are - this is a great car.
And so the modifications begin. The car is in great nick and has everything I wanted already on it (STi interior, STi spoiler, front splitter, WR1 grille, Brembo brakes, body-coloured sills etc etc). However, I really want to change the alloys as they look a little worn and I'm not a fan of them to be honest.
I want to keep with the current 18" setup and you have to bear in mind that the car is wearing STi Brembos. So what options do I have as far as alloys are concerned (must not be gold and must clear the Brembos). I don't want to spend more than £500 on the alloys to be honest. Any ideas?
Here's the car by the way...

They look like PFF copies, you could re-furb them. Or get some genuine PFF's in Bright Flitter if you don't want Gold.
Looks a nice car, personally I would change the Red flaps and loose the Sti badges

Your wheels are innovit, not to my taste either. The above are ultraleggerea's and quite pricey. How about finding a used set of OZ superleggera's, they look very similar.
