Question PFF7 Upgrade on MY05 WRX?

Hi folks, I am currently trying to find the best deal on a set of Prodrive PFF7 rims in Bright Flitter and four 225/40/18 Z tyres (Is this the correct size?).

Could someone please confirm the part number for these rims on this model of car (I assume there is more than one)?

What make of tyres would you recommend for general road use, Toyo seem good value for money?

At the moment it looks like Revolution are going to get my business, I just wanted to be sure of the sizes and tyre choice etc before parting with my hard earned cash

Thanks for any advice offered...D-an-W

T1R's on mine - very happy with them
Size is correct...
Part no is all the same, only differs by colour or if supplied with tyres..SACC2662

Forgot to mention just make sure they are not for the 05 onwards Sti which has a different PCD - you need 5x100..

Who else have you tried and for what price? I am about to buy some too (in anthracite) and i have a varied price range from many suppliers.

Revolution were one of my worst quotes.
midland wheels my best with a diff of £200 so have a shop about!!!
wheelbase were ok as were scoobybits.

All with toyo P1 S tyres 225/40/18

edit to say.. yes pcd is 5x100 and offset is 48 (45 is ok too) i also have a 05wrx

Question

@willsy369, They don't come in Anthracite (Do they ) unless you are talking about Replica's I was talking about original Prodrive (Speedline) rims and Toyo P1-R Tyres...

David @ Revolution asked me what model it was saying (As you said) the STi has a different stud pattern (Whats PCD stand for?)...

Hi
PCD = pitch centre diameter.
Put a pin in the centre of all the bolt holes - draw a circle around the pins - result is the pitch circle diameter.
100mm is the diameter for the older cars.
Later STis are 112mm (IIRC)
Cheers!
Steve

Hi D-an-W , Didnt know revolution did the real ones?? im getting the replicas from them probably next week. I was sure you could get them in gold,anthracite and bright flitter in the real ones and for the replicas it was gold, gun metal and silver? dont quote me though!
what price are the PFF 7s from revolution then mate? i was quoted around £825 for the reps.

PCD = pitch centre diameter - wrong.....
... result is the pitch circle diameter - second time right!
Up to 2004 pcd was 100mm as said after that, 2005 and 2006, it changed to 114.3mm rather than 112mm, close though

The WR1's had PFF7's in anthracite but not available as a subaru aftermarket part in this colour I believe. How about finding someone with a WR1 and ask him to order 4 spares?
