i have just bought an impreza sport and i am looking to modify and upgrade certain things. The 1st that came to mind were the wheels and i`m attracted to the new 18" OZ Racing Superleggera in gold but am not sure how they`ll look. The tyres will be Yokohama 215 with a profile of 35mm....any ideas?

This is how they'll look.......
I have em fitted to my MY01 WRX (Tyres are 40 profile though and not 35!)





They are a really nice wheel and in my opinion,look the dogs danglies!!!!!

Good luck

Nick

P.S: The gap between tyre and arch looks HUGE on the pics but I now have Prodrive springs fitted which make the wheels 'look' much bigger!!!!

cheers chap, nice motor! i prever the leggeras` rather than the super t`s as there are less spokes...apparently the sport sits higher than the turbo so i have room to adjust i think...gonna have to upgrade the brakes nxt cuz standards are gonna seem well small behind those at 18".

If you get big wheels, be warned that you will be compelled to put on large brakes
