Default STI 03 - What Alloy Size

Hi people,

Can you tell me what i need to consider when looking at new alloys for my 03 Type U.K. I have no idea what i need to look at but i have gold calipers and have been told to be careful.

Anyone able to give sound advice?

Also, are there any sites where i can see the wheels on my car?

Any decent alloy wheel retailer will know what will fit over the Brembo calipers. When OZ Superlegerra first came out the 18's wouldn't fit so people had to get 19's, but they have since changed them slightly (offset and inside spoke profile) and now they do. A lot of people say 18" is the perfect compromise of styling and handling, and that 19's ruin the ride and handling but look awesome. I have however read several reports recently where people fitting 19's think the car still performs very well. Your money, your choice.

BTW, black is shabby, gold is ghey. Silver is just cool

The most popular aftermarket is Subaru's own Prodrive PFF7.

It depends on how different you want to be as lots of people have them now.

I like these alloys on Scoobytoo's car a lot, due to the polished rim around the outside. Although maybe not in gold on a silver car..

But, I dont know if they fit over brembo's.
