Hi thanks what size wheel.and tyres you running

18x8.5 PCD 5x114.3 and offset 55

Ok thanks

I second revolution motorstore. They're big into their scoobs and will probably be able to recommend a few others. Also when you speak to them you feel like they take the time to make sure you get what you want.

I've been looking at wheels maybe just dreaming cos I won't have much cash left over when I get the car but there was a few nice OZ 19's in subaru fitment 8.5 wide other than that I liked the speed line Turini and some of the bbs looked like they would look well on it, as it's a blue subaru it just won't look right without gold wheels ;)

Also I wondered if 19's would be bad for the handling, it shouldn't make a huge difference in rolling radius of the wheel and tyre but I would hate to spoil the drive of the car a little bit for it to for a set of shiny wheels

I was not that keen on the 19" wheels and there is not as many wheel sizes that fit the 2015 as the 2014 as the space between the face of the hub and the inside of the arch is less meaning you cant have as low of an et on the 2015 as the 2014 the sizes i am lead to believe are 2014 hub to arch 110mm and on the 2015 its 70mm

I cant remember but i am sure the largest wheel i seen on the 2015 sti was with out Poke was 19×10 +35 but it may depend on the wheel style some flat faced wheels designs don't clear front brakes

I have a nice set of OZ Racing Formula HLT alloys and tyres , 18 inch .

18 x 9 , Pcd 114 and Et 35

Would fit nicely and fill your wheel arches !

Come complete with 245 x 40 x 18 , Verdestein Tyres with 6/7 mil tread ....

Not sure how many of you are aware, but the 2015's have TPMS (tyre pressure monitor system) on the wheels. This is a sensor that's on the back of the inflation valve. When you take the car in for tyre swaps make the fitters aware of this because they can smash the sensors if they break the bead in the wrong place.

Also, if you are planning to keep your original wheels then you may need to buy a second set of sensors. They cost £130 from Subaru but a decent tyre shop should be able to get them for about £75.

I'm told that the TPMS 'self learns' any new sensors or wheel swaps (i.e. front to back). I'm yet to verify this but I may test this when I put my winters back on this weekend.

White-sti-2008 thanks for the offer but i think i going to go with a set of bronze wheels

Huwjones thanks for the info i was aware it has tpms but i did not know how they were fitted this is very helpful as i was going to retain the std tyres so thanks:-)

I have been speaking to revolution (thanks for the heads up stants)about a set of rota g force wheels in bronze in 18×9 et35 and keeping the dunlop 245/40/18 tyres what you guy think of the wheel he sent me picture as not quite made my mind up its so hard when you cant see it against the car

They are some nice rims there mate, not seen a set of rotas I don't like to be honest

That's my dilemma i like the wheel but do i like them when there on the car

Will revs let you go and offer them up to the car ?

there mega helpful so would think yes but i am In Kent bit of a drive could be fun thou mmmm

Ah ok, there used to be a site where you could see a mock up of the wheels on your car, can't remember for the life of me what it was, I'll try and find it for you

They look tidy. I've been looking about to see if there's any I fancy and liked the look of these but haven't seen a uk seller that lists a price

Your more than welcome to come and try my Oz Racing Firmula HLT in Matt Black ...... Think they would look better .... And can do you a goid price .

Not able to post a picture , but can email you 1 or Google it .... Mines are as new ! Only 6 months old .

maybe not just checked would take about 12 hours round trip maybe a bit to far

personal favourite of mine always wanted a set not sure how they'd look on the sti though
