Hi All,

Interested to know peoples opinion who have gone from the stock 17" rim to an 18 or 19. I want to get bigger rims for my STi, but am worried that 19's will; a) be an overkill, too big and make the brakes look small b) make the ride too harsh. Will 18's be enough to fill the guards effectively?

Anyone opnions??

Cheers
Zombee

Fred & Jason have 19" CE28Ns on their STi's. It looks perfect. But the brakes do look smaller! Usually 18" wheels look just about right, but the Volks look small in that size.

Check out this thread:

Go the 19"s, even with my pissy std brakes they look good

Thats my opinion anyway.
