Are there any alternatives to the above apart from the ones from Prodrive and the ones sold at Subaru dealers? Any pictures on or off cars would be great.

ENKEI RPM2, 18x7,5 - 50 offset "only" 18,9lb!
Very nice and strong Japanese wheels with correct offset but can't find them around, if you find any shop that sells them let me know.

Question

Alyn,

Do you know whether a STi7/8 set of brembos would fit under a 17" turini? I've got the wheels on a WRX and the calipers might be a future upgrade...

Thanks

Apple, local Speedline distributor recently told me that only 18" Turinis are "compatible" with the STI Brembos.

Jim,

Thanks for that - it's what I would have expected

Didn't originally fancy 18"ers due to the ride / local potholes but might want to upgrade the brakes at some point...
