Hi...

I just got my first Subaru (06 STI PPP) and am VERY pleased with it but want to change the wheels...

Are there any 18" Anthracite PFF7's or P-WRC1's available for the 06 STI or does anyone know what my options would be for 18" Anthracite wheels ?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice

Hi - I've just been through this in the last few days, looking for exactly the same thing - there are no 18" anthracite wheels supplied by Subaru (i.e. prodrive) which will fit our 06 Sti.

Major bummer.

Might be worth checking out third party suppliers - wheels probably cheaper that way anyway :-)

Are you sure or do you mean they are out of stock?
Have a look on this topic:

Try Iain Litchfield - he had some in last time I called.

Hi - aye, that thread confirms 18's in Gold or Flitter, but no Anthracite.

The Subaru parts list just doesn't have such a beast for the Sti.
Sadly :-(

JIM THEO

You are correct but flitter is the closest available colour to your choice thus I posted it!

Martin Walker

Cheers Sir - in fact could well be ordering these in Flitter in next 24 hours

Real shame they don't do the Anthracite ones - would be a grand match for Crystal Grey :-)

Thanks for the replys...

I'll probably go with the flitter pff7's myself, they don't look bad at all.

I can't seem to find any Potenza RE070 to fit the 18's though, is this correct ? Which tyres would you guys reccomend ?

Michelin Pilot Sport 2 (Extra Load). 165 each from mytyres.com yesterday.
Costco do them fitted for 176 too.

A seriously under rated tyre - I have some in a 225/45 17 and they have more dry weather grip than the O.E. Bridgestone RE040's and better wet grip than the set of Goodyear F1 GSD3's I had!

My local Costco (Manchester) do them for £138 fitted inc vat.... i used the 20% off voucher too to get a very nice price, £110 fitted inc vat.

As Martin says Pilot II is the best road tyre (except road legal slicks) available IMHO!

Marcus763.....have a look for Speedline Turini's in Anthracite....available in 8 x 18 and fitted to one of the Litchfield 06 cars

Subaru also sell Turini's through the dealers, but not the Anthracite ones.
Also, these wheels use the same flow forming manufacturing process as the PFF7's.
