Question

Those of us in North America who are anticipating, finally, getting an Impreza turbo and want to run 17" wheels have only one "factory" choice: they look like BBS Electras, in 17x7. Prices not yet announced, but it is said they will be expen$ive. Does anyone know anything about these wheels, eg metallurgy, manufacturing process, durability, weight?
Has anyone had experience with the older STi forged 5-spoke 17" wheels?
Finally, any advice concerning aftermarket wheels and optimal offsets (ET 48-53?) would be greatly appreciated.

I would also appreciate any suggestions for a strong, light wheel wide enough available her

Oops. I didn't mean to dribble on like that at the end. Sorry. I'll be more careful next time, I promise.
