Default Any pics of standard alloys with 225 tyres?

I need 4 new tyres and read good things about the Vredestein Sessantas. At around £90 they soften the blow of having to buy 4 but they only come in 225. I have weighted up the pros and cons of wider tyres but cant find any pictures of them fitted to see what they actually look like.

Can anyone help me out with any photos of a newage WRX, ideally hawkeyes WRXs with 225s on standard alloys?

Thanks for that. The STIs have wider alloys so will look slightly different anyway. I guess its mainly to see what they are like on 17x7

They will probably look good, the Sti alloy is 17x8 & unlike the bridgestones that come as standard, the Sessantas don't have as big a shoulder.

Mine has standard suspension so Im hoping it might fill in the arches a bit or at least look less like a tractor. Its just an expensive mistake if it doesnt look right.
