    Does anyone know of anything? Obviously the '04 STi wheels are perfect, but probably too expensive (unless I find a rashed set). What I'm trying to do is find a Brembo friendly, sturdy wheel I can use with a snow tire for rally and general wet winter driving. I'm going to lift the Foz back to stock and get some 225/55 Winterforces.

    You should look at the Hankook W409's, I love mine and do well on blasts down fire service roads

    Thanks for the tip, but If I'm going to do this, I'm going to get as much of an off road tire as I can. I bet that'll do better in the snow, but it doesn't snow here (well, maybe this year?). I've read that the Winterforce is a good entry level rallycross tire. I may even get dedicated gravel rally tires with triple ply sidewalls...
