Silly question Peccy, but why do you want these wheels? Impreza WRC wheels (if you're talking about the genuine ones) won't fit a classic roadcar, and even if you could find them in the right size, they ain't cheap. 
I know of some used ones if that's what you're after.

The used ones I was talking about are real WRC car wheels - like I said, no good for a road car.
If Speedline do that style of wheel in a fitment suitable for a roadgoing Impreza, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to order them through any Speedline dealer. Try Demon Tweeks or ScoobySport for some leads.

greasemonkey,
just wondering out of curiosity if you can get your hands on just one real WRC alloy like peccy was mentioning. I`d tell you why on here but everyone would take the **** out of me!!!! LOL.
Cheers,
Chris.

had the MO's on my old scooby, very nice wheel, but weigh about 11kg, magnesium 18's are about half that weight, in terms of unsprung weight your saving nearly 100kg

If you're on a crusade to reduce unsprung weight peccy, why on earth are you thinking about 18"'s?
If all other things are equal, a smaller diameter wheel with a higher profile tyre will be lighter than a bigger wheel with a low profile tyre on it.
Thus, you'd be much better off trying to get a set of 15" x 7" magnesium wheels than a set of the 18" tarmac ones.
