    I need a 17x8 or 18x8 depending on price and look...5x100 with 40-42 offset. Don't want to go less than 40, too agressive. I don't want to roll my fenders nor change my suspension...So this would be as aggressive I get in size and offset. I need Rims that are spoked out further to clear at least the STi Brembos. What do u guys think? Offset sounds good with what I have as my intention? I love the grams and volks but I can't wait 2-3 months...

    Sorry found out I had to go 42-40 to gaurantee fitment

    Another change...maybe going with a higher offset...48-50 so it won't stick out like a sore thumb...After seeing some pics...So the spoke design is really important...No more polish lip for me!

    I've never like Advan for some reason...I think they are overpriced, but again that's my opinion

    I understand you don't want to wait so long...but what I like/savin up for some Work Meister S1's!! Hopefully I can get my hands on a 3piece one :) I say you hop on some TE37's or them WORK MESITER!! looks alot better IMO on the newer age impreza's. Or something I haven't seen on a impreza is BBS LM's...DROOLL but too ballah for me.

    work meister s1's look way too much like a RWD coupe wheel to me. Works on stuff like silvias and Z's, doesn't work on subarus IMO

    The 5x100 stock STi BBS's are so light compared to 5x114.3.. makes me cry.

    Aftermarket I'm in love with Volk and the SSR's.

    I'm narrowing it down now...I need to decide by Tuesday next week...In the running right now is "Weds Sport" SA-90 not from Tirerack.com they don't have the offset I need...Here is the spec..17x8 5x100 42 offset...Never knew looking for the right size is so limited to what kind of rims I can get...Probably go with a 235/45/17 *S8t* gotta buy new tires again...THIS SUCKS!

    Enkei's are out...offset is too high

    Thanks Aaron...for mentioning *Weds*

    Crap...I may have to go with the SA70 Weds...Because of the spoke design and maybe with a 50 offset so it won't stick out like a sore thumb...*ahhh* this will be my last brake Kit upgrade

    I don't know if you trust member on nasioc, but there is someone selling I believe 18x7.5 or 18x8 (not sure) for like 1500. Seems like a deal. Unless your looking for 17's like ^^^ but keep us updated on what your gonna get cuz I don't want to end up with the same rims as you ;-)

    My 6 cylinder makes 1250 lb/ft of torque.
    I'll be waiting for either the anguished scream of Ray as his wheels don't fit, or the relieved sigh when they do. Either way, it's entertainment ;)
