Default Wheel dilema on classic mica red

Right Folks

Looking for everyones opinions here!

My classic impreza uk2000 is in at the bodyshop getting a respray in the original Mica red to freshin her up.

Got brand new headlights & clear indicators & repeaters to go on . To keep the front end looking new.

Trying to get her back to how she looked coming out the show room.

Going to lower the car. But i cant decide on which wheels to get.

Torn between 17" Speedline turini ( Either in silver or gunmetal ) or
7.5 x 18" Revolution Millenium ( Also in silver or gunmetal ).

Come on guys help me decide on wheels & which colour !

Also any pics would be good.

Cheers

Why 17's on one wheel and 18's on the other?
Either way i'd be having 18's and i'd be going for the Revo's out of those two options

Sick - as in a little bit orange and full of carrot chunks?
I never will understand the use of that word......

I think the P1 wheels in anthracite look good on a mica red. Can get 17 or 18" though personally I think 18s ruin the handling on a Classic.

On the 17's v 18's debate........
I ran the car (uk classic) for 60k miles on 17's before fitting 18's. The 18's look better - that's a given but the handling thing is personal choice.
I came from the world of lowered hot hatches so a firm ride is what i was used to and what i liked so when i fitted the 18's, due to the lower tyre profile, the ride was firmer and felt better for me personally.
I don't think the handling changed in any major way.
