I was wondering how many different types of wheels were availible for the impreza in the UK. Here in the US it is very difficult to find wheels with the correct offset and bolt circle. (53mm, 5x100). We can get Speedlines, Racelines and Advans but that is about it, and they are VERY expensive. The OZ distributor here says that OZ makes a wheel with the correct size & offset, but it is not imported into the US. I was thinking of ordering my wheels from the UK so I can get the brand, size and style I want since they are not availible here. Any help as to what is availible would be appriciated. TIA

Alternatively if you just want to see a collection of wheels in one place look at graham goodes site.
Alternatives are Compomotives, TSW, Radius, Momo,OZ, Speedline. I'm sure I've missed some as well

Opie,

I'll put my sensible hat on for a moment...

Whatever type of wheel you go for, I would look closely at suppliers in different countries.

Exchange rates make a big difference!

I recently bought a set of 17" gold Tecnomagnesio Sport alloys.
Tecnomagnesio are part of the Speedline group.
IMHO they look as good as any other of the wheels on the market.

ChrisG - I found that the Tecnomagnesio's are availible here (in the US), but only in a 40mm offset. What offset do the wheels you purchased have? Where did you purchase them? TIA

I also found a US retailer that sells a 17"x7" Prodrive wheel for $225(USD) per wheel that look very similar to the Tecnomagnesio TM Sports.
