Help with wheel choice .... please
The Hawkeye WRX I'm getting is black has the standard 17" silver wheels - which I'm planning to keep for winter use (or when it's too dark to see them).
I'd like a set of 18" and will probably go for silver or chrome (I do like my bling) but at present have no idea of what fits and what looks good.
More drawn towards the 5 spoke style rather than the multi-spokes...my STi 1999 had multi-spoke gold wheels and keeping them clean was a real pain in the whatsit so trying to avoid repeating that exercise.
So...most grateful if you could suggest 18" wheels that would go on the WRX and with links or photos would be most appreciated.
Q1: Do STi wheels fit on a WRX or are there mods needed?
Q2: Are there differences in the fittings between the different years/models or are they all basically the same?

as mentioned you have the pcd of 100, so you need sti wheels before widetrack, if you like the Pff7s you can get them in 100 as the WR1 had them, sure you know what they look like if not ill post a pic

What tyres are recommended for general road use on 18" rims for the WRX?

Too many spokes on the speedlines for the look I'm after and don't really want to lower the car - I live in rural France just south of Le Mans and often have to go visiting houses that have "rough tracks" leading to them so need the ground clearance.

lovely wheels but needs dropping for the look, looks a bit odd with big gap.
