Classic 17s
Newage 18s
Personal preference after having both cars and several different combinations.

I have an 05 STi PPP and it is recommended to have 18's with this upgrade to obtain full benefit of the extra torque, according to Prodrive. Car runs great on them I must say, handles well and rides well. The fact they are PFF's helps to, as they look the biz.
