what kind of budget do you have? what style do you like?

Just get what you like, because asking on here will get you a different answer from every person. Personally, I think 17x8 is a good size for a WRX. And either bronze or gunmetal.

Hope you're aware that the OEM wheels are fairly light when compared to other offerings from companies such as Prodrive. If you're buying a new set just for looks, chances are you'll end up with a heavier set than OEM and just add unsprung weight to the car. Just putting it out there...

I was in the area and checked out that franchise "Rent N Roll". Seemed o.k. they had Edge Performance rims 18x7.5 and Kumho 225/45/18 for $1200.00 out the door. I liked the rims but walked because I didn't know the brand. Asked for a price on Konig rims, same style and size but the guy never called me this week.

Would like Volks but haven't decided if i what to throw down $3000.00 for them.

What is everyones thoughts on 18x7.5 with 225/35 for tires? Should i go to 18x8's or am i asking for trouble?

$700 but they weight around ~18lbs compared to the OEM WRX wheel which comes in around the mid 16's. I'd save my money.
