Default 18" wheels and tyre package????

hi guy i have got a late 96 wrx import(facelift)
When i bought it i was disgusted at the sight of the 16 inch wheels and decided that 18's were the way to go.
i live in london and i am struggling to find somewhere doing wheels and tyre packages for a scooby.The ones that do want over £1100 for wheels and tyres.
everywhere has cheaper 17's but no 18's.
i want a gold or black/anthracite rim multispoke (not 5 spoke)
anyone know a good place to look.doesnt have to be in london.kent,surrey,essex e.t.c ?????
Also i beleive it is on standard suspension so what size tyres should i use?
thanks guys

Midland Wheel Supplies are stupidly cheap.

For a classic the PCD is 5x100 and just about all wheels listed above will have the correct offset to fit as they are Subaru fitment.

Tyre wise 215/35/18 appears to be the norm on classics although some can get away with 225/35/18's

Best multispoke anthracite wheel has to be Speedline Turin's, but I'm very biased, but these are 8x18 and a 215/35 tyre will look stretched

ok i have changed my mind.i think i will buy 17's on lower profile sidewalls.
so what size tyre should i get with the 17's?
the suspension is standard.i was thinking 225/40/17 is this ok or would it better to get 215's?

Classic size tyres are 205/45/17 but just about everyone goes for the more common 215/40/17, more choice in this size.

Common tyres people recommend are Toyo T1-R, Goodyear GSD3 F1, Ypkphama Parada's, Michelin PS2's but its your decision
