Don't have a photo atm, will try to take one at lunch. It looks roughly like the photo below but my car is silver.

thought about it, but there is so much kerb rash on the rims, it costs more to fix them and powder coat them than to buy a set a used rims. I might as well go Ultrex.
second reason is I think 17" rims might be more comfortable and tyres might costs less in the long term.

I think they look pretty good, I would take them over stock bug rims. Rash doesn't look bad in the pic.

Wanting to find some nice black rims for my Silver MY10 Sti hatch.

Hoping for a bit of deep dish action and abuot 18-19 inch, but not sure what set up I can do (little bit confused with all the measurement).

Can anyone give me some advice?

This might need its own thread? Is John doing supply, as well as fitting/install?
