Default Wheels for a black classic STI

Which later impreza STI wheels would everyone think looks best?

Was thinking of these (think they are from an STI bugeye):


Would they look as good as I think they would on my classic? Would they fit?

Cheers

I have the same alloys on my Black Impreza 17 with 225/45 tyres on. But they are rubbing on my struts and hav been told the offset is wrong.

How do u put pictures up.

Go to ImageShack® - Hosting and upload your picture, then copy the url they give you for posting on forums and paste in your message.

What Impreza do you have? They won't fit on the later models (05/06) as the offset is different (I think)

A mate has the Bug STI wheels on a MY2000 classic with 215/45 x 17" tyres...

They do rub a little at the back when the car is loaded, but he has lowered prodrive suspension, which is certainly quite a bit lower than my V5 type R's standard set up.

So, with either, a standard ride height, or perhaps 215/40 tyres you should be ok with these IMO.

I went for these on my black classic....

Well I've got a calssic MY97 Import Sti. I'm going to do more investigating than. Don't want to spend money on new wheels when all I hav to do is change the size of tyre. The garage said the offset was wrong. Is the offset printed on the alloy.
