Default WRC Rims - MY00

Im looking for a set of WRC style rims preferably 17 or 18's and I was wondering if anyone knew of any brands/models out there. I have had a bit of a look but cant find anything. I have the rallye edition of the MY00 and i want to upgrade to larger rims but keep the WRC theme to naomi. Color doesnt matter as I will get them powder coated to the WRC gold.

Cheers

You would be pretty dedicated to run 18's on a gc8. I'd stick with the 17's.

Have a look at the OZ superleggera. They were standard issue on the P1 in the UK and look pretty similar to the ones used on the tarmac rally cars.

Oz Racing Superturismo WRC



I would keep them white, or get a titanium finish like they had on the WRC P2000. Like this...

I know its off topic, but has anyone put a roof vent on their GD series Rex, similar to the vent on the pic above, or in this pic I found in MOTOR mag.



I'm particularly interested in pig STi's. what are people's thoughts on it?
