get the smallest, widest, lightest wheels you can fit over your brakes. tuned by sti rims would just be a WOFTAM for track rims

are they 17s or 18s? swappng tyres becomes pretty annoying after a while. Stock 02-04sti rims would be the cheapest way to get some track rims

Stock 02-04sti rims as mentioned would be the best bet and if you find two sets let me know.

I reckon go the STi rims..

What are tuned by STi rims? Do they fit your stud pattern Kristian? ie 5x100? Will they clear Brembos?

Agree with this.
18" are too big for track rims IMO, 17" max
