Thanks

you won't be able to fit a pukka WRC alloy to your car due to the width and offset of the wheel..............the WR cars use a one-off hub set-up that bears no relation to the production kit!!

you should be able to get a 'copy' wheel to give the rally look........current sponsorship for the wheels is BBS..........

The P-WRC1 is the road-going version of that style of WRC wheel. Available for every Impreza from a Subaru dealer.

The P-WRC1 has been around a while now, made by OZ, so will they're be a new BBS version on the horizon?

Yeah i have the P-WRC1 rims on my scooby but i'm after a wider track on my scoob and so need some rims with a different offset and wider rim to fill my new arches.

It's either new replica bbs ones if they do them or the P-FF7 ones.

The wheel we have for the STi fitted with Brembo brakes is ET46 so this may help a little.

It's the P-WRC1 wheel but it does fit inside the std bodywork on a later car so it may not fill the arches properly. Mind you, 22B wheels just about fit an 03/04 car as well
