    they look like bbs ch reps, offset and pcd look okay but id also enquire about the centre bore. if they are made for a wrx the centre bore will be different iirc

    Those are 18x9.75 et20 though. With a bit (or a lot) of money you can make any wheel fit. You'd need a hub ring adapter for these as the centre bore is 73.1.. Also the ones you linked obvs won't sit as flush.

    Thanks for the input. So you reckon et35 will fit and clear the guard and suspension set up? I was also looking at the GTC wheels and apparently they're the same as VMR's. Seems like they don't have any in the pcd i need.
    Any suggestions on wheels? Budget is about 1k.

    depends on the height of the car to if itll work up front or not. might run into issues with the strut being too close and serious rubbing on the inside of the arch on full lock if its too low.

    I've been eyeing these wheels too but not sure if they'll clear my brakes. they should due to the concavity but you can be my guinea pig. =]

    Hey kapowww I remembered you had some Miro wheels? Were they these ones?

    Thinking of having them since the CB is right. How were they sitting without the spacers if you have any on?
    Cheers
