    I like them but some people say with the bigger lips they look smaller than they actualy are. Meaning 18" looks like 17".

    Thats close to the same design I have and they are a bitch to clean

    well the wheels the STi come with are already a bitch to clean i think. you might be right about the bigger lips making the wheels look smaller.hmmm

    my prodrive P1's are a bitch to clean, takes a good 5 mins to do each one correctly. Those sprays that claim to take off brake dust don't do shit, just make it worse.

    i think those rims look sweet. ive always been a big fan of the dish. it looks soo good while driving. and those spokes are so small. it will look like floating rims. they make pads that are lower on brake dust. never used them but seen them around. i had a pair of AR rims on my talon that had a dish. i used to use that spray cleaner on it the foam in a can. i thought it did a good start. i would let soak while i wask the car and go around and scrub rims. i would have to only put in a quarter of the effort to get them clean. i would even spray down the tip of the muffler and that would be blingin like new too. i for 1 vote buy the dish! :)

    well so much for that...i called Tread Depot in Atlanta, and here's the e-mail i got back from this dude..."Shane,
    I checked the availability on the 18-7.5 fourteen's. they are not
    available for your vehicle. The brake calipers on the sti are too big to put
    these wheels on it. Unfortunately you are going to run into this with a lot
    of applications. I know that some of the enkei racingline wheels in 18"
    applications will fit. Check these out or call me with any questions you may
    have."

    Anyone have any recommendations on what kinda wheels fit our cars? I'm looking for something similar to this one.

    I, for one, am saving up for Prodrive P1s since I think the Anthracite Grey ones would look awesome on my car. If I were you I would get those. If you were to sell your STI wheels, how much would you want? :-D

    By the way Craig: When I was searching for Prodrive P1s on froogle.com, I came across a site with testimonials and there is a picture of your car with an e-mail I guess you sent them. Your car looks awesome with those rims.

    Stock STi rims take forever to get perfectly clean...

    There are a lot of great wheels for the sti, just depends on how much you want to spend...Give me a price range.
