Question

As it's as diffcult to find wheels for the STi7 as it was in '96 for the GT, have you some web adresses or brand and model of wheels which are fitting.
I have seen the Scoobysport model, the Superleggeras and the great "classics" but I want something different, specialy in the gun metal color.

A big search over the Net give me a lot of Web addresses but they are extremly poor to inform the visitors about the fittings, specially for the STi7 and when you call, the answers are "perhaps, they will fit" !!!

Many thanks for your answers.

Good Luck!!! I posted a similar post a while back but didn't get many replies.

With regard to the Superleggras - I think 18" DON'T fit - but 19" do - but you're gonna have very skinny tyres!

Prodrive FF7 (on subaru web site) fit and I think TSL do a very lightweight and very expensive one.

Well if you want rarity, lightweight, and to-die-for looks, have a look at the forged ones on the TSL site. If you can't afford 'em, try their new ones under "Less lbs for less £££'s" on this forum

Will the 18" Oz wheels from a P1/UK300 fit ?
Was told yesterday that the offset is different and they won't fit over the brakes on a STi 7.
I have a set and was going to fit them but now not sure what to do.

I would check with TSL if those wheels will fit an STi 7/8 first if I were you, that picture appears to be their WRX? (Not an STi).
