Mike at Scoobymania was going to check this out.

I understand 18" Superleggeras fit for starters (but check that for sure), plus of course there are the two 18" Prodrive wheels.

Dont know if you are sorted but 18" SupperL's dont fit import STi 7 the Brembos are too damn big. Tried loads of 18"s with what was supposed to be the right offset but none fitted. Was just about loosing faith when I found with the help South Coast Wheels a 19" yes 19" that fitted straight on no spacers no mods no rubbing with 235/35 tyres and they look the BIZ.

I had a set of 18"s SupperLs on my STi6 which I kept when I got the STi7. I tried em on and no way were they gonna fit. There is a GL and a KL STi7 the GL has the LSD and is about 2K more expensive and if you ask me a waste of money unless you like loads of torque steer on ya four wheel drive car, not 4 me so mine is a KL. No probs at all with the 19"s just a bit of a secret at the mo cos my man at South coast wheels dont think its been done before so he is getting some pics done for a mag. But I could e-mail you one if you want.

Speedline Turini (18") fits, Speedline are also working on a split rim design variation of the GT2 which looks great but won't fit STi7.

The list is short.

The MO's are what I had on my WRX at Donington last year - my old trackday wheels.

They are VERY heavy and do the unsprung weight no favours.

Save your pennies for the ones I sent you a picture of
