Default adive please

hi guys im looking at getting some new wheels for my MY2000 Classic turbo

i want some anthacite ones maybe the P1 Style Rims or somthing to that effect

the reason i want new one is because my 17s that came with the car are badly kerbed and tbh i dont like look anyway. They also dont sit on the HUB properly due to the spacer needed to help it miss the calipers.

Should i go for some more 17s that are designed for my car and will fit properly

or go for some 16" ones that should in theory be lighter and cheaper on tyres.

btw which will effect the handling the most and how??

cheers guys!!

17's give you a good balance of handling and ride, tyres in this bracket can be cheaper than those in the 16 inch bracket.
Have a look at (if you can get any) the PD7 wheels, or the P1 ones

01-05 WRX rims fit, they are 17" and come in silver, bronze or anthracite, they will CERTAINLY be cheaper than P1 rims

They also clear Godspeed Brembo's at the front and STi Brembo's at the rear
