Look in the group buy section. There`s one on at the moment. Ask a few that have bought them.

I've just bought and fitted a set of bronze Rota Torque rims in 17 x 7.5ins, ET48 and 5 x 100 PCD for my STI8. They're fantastic - they weigh just 6.95kgs per rim and have the right offset and clearance for the Brembo callipers. The bronze is actually a light silvery grey and looks great (IMO) on WRC blue. Driving, there's a significant improvement in turn in and the reduced unsprung mass makes for less jiggling on poorly surfaced roads - overall a huge step up from standard STI rims

Had 17" Rota Torque on my car for about 2 years and no probs.

Never taken on a track but not driven like a pansy either

I ran over a kerb at 30 mph - wrecked two Toyo Proxes but my rims were not even cracked and are fine.
