Think long and hard with regards to 18" wheels, I've got 18" on mine and I'm going back to 17", Ride is better and you get a bigger/cheaper selection of tyres when it comes to replacing them.

I've got the bottom option but both look good as they are copies of Prodrive wheels.

Have a look at rarerims and ultralite they do great deals and the wheels are light and very good quality

Take care with some of the copys, they are not all what they seem

These are OE PFF7's about £1800 with tyres from Subaru. Got them re-coated by Renowheel.

Personally i would go for the top ones as i think they look better in gold than the PPF7's. I put 18's on mine and had to lower it, but it improved grip, handling and look 10 fold.

Iv owned the PPF7 replicas in black by inovite. No issues with the wheels at all but the finish could have been a little better, but only you will notice this when giving them a good clean. I have Rota's now from Rare Rims and the finish is better and i ended up paying less for these than the Inovites, but i was told not to make the price public as i haggled it down quite a bit, the guy asked if i wanted the shirt off his back too

Plan is to buy set of 18s then lower it about 35mm on either Tein springs or Eibachs should sit nice then, how ever im liking the black wheels on the rally blue subarus looksmore agressive

This is a hard choice, took me weeks to decide which to order, finally decided on the tops ones (P1 Style) and ordered them from a Group Buy that was running at the time. When they came they'd sent the wrong ones (PPF7's)

Fitted one to my car and really liked it, phoned the suppilier who offered either and exchange or £35 back (the cost of carriage to swap). I ended up keeping the PPF7's

Look at RARERIMS before you make your mind up as Rota's are a quality wheel and try H&R springs
