Who's everyone?

Where do you live, maybe someone near by with STI wheels can take you for a drive so you can see the difference.

Don't listen to them, unless by "dramatically" they meant awesomely!

dramatically....no. going to something like a 30 series on 20s would be dramatic. the sti 18s with a good set of 225/40 on them would be not much different
Nick has his up for EOI...not sure if anyone else is selling atm but you could always throw up a WTB

Hey Mate,

There's a set over here on Perth Gumtree, his asking price is $2000 maybe see if you can bump him down and then that will cover the cost of the freight?

STI wheels don't fit :(

You can still run a 45 series tyre on the 18s then you'd barely notice any difference, apart from your speedo being out...
