Question

Hello,
I am looking for possible alternatives for new wheels on my STI7 to replace the original gold ones which I will keep for the winter tires. I thought this would be an easy task, but I have been searching all forums and there are lot’s of topics on the matter, but as far as I can dig out there are no list mentioning exactly manufacturer, type and sizes that will fit for sure.
So, if there are anybody out there that can help me with alternatives, I would be very happy!
Preferably I would like 17” as the stock ones, but in anthracite.
Thanks!
STIVII

You can get P1 style wheels from Subaru dealers in the UK they are expensive but look excellent,
TSL and scoobysport both have wheels that will go over the calipers.

No probs On a saturday night!

Have you thought about fitting 18" instead? The Pff7's are good.

Otou san,

I cannot understand what you mean? There are dozens of wheels for your car in 17 inch, 7.5 inches, 8 inches, 9 inches wide, etc. With the right offset and PCD, of course.

Thanks guys, what I really need is manufacturer, name of the rim and eventually the size that you would recommend. Reason why I would go for 17 is that I have the OEM Bridgestone's which has only done about 50 miles and save some money. I realize that 18" Goodyear F1's would be a much better option though!

Keep advices coming please.
