they are 5 x 100 18x7.5 with a 50 offset. my car is not lowered and i have never heared they rub at all even under heavy cornering and bumps. they are specific for the WRX. i believe if you go to a 17 inch wheel the offset becomes 48. i love them, they are very light for the price and they look good as hell.

i dont know if you can still get the same price i paid, the sales guy claimed that it was heavily discounted because of their tent sale. if worse comes to worse try calling discount direct and tell them that you have a quote for what you want to pay and see if they will match it (even if you dont have that deal) that is what i did.
i think that you shoud go with the enkei wheels over the prodrive, there is a big weight savings and the enkeis are forged and i belive that the prodrives are cast, the result is a lighter and stronger wheel.
good luck either way.

nice wheels man, love split spokes. i duno how the roads r around u but some lowering springs or new suspension completely would make those wheels and your car look even better than it already does. keep up the sweet work.

I am saving up the cash for a new suspension, but i want to get coil overs because of their adjustability, that means it is going to take longer because they cost a lot more.
does any one have any recomendations for a good setup, i dont want to drop it more than 1" and i want adjustable damping and rebound if possible.
In the mean time i am going to participate in my first SOLO 2 race next weekend at route 66 raceway. i hope to get some good pics that i will post.

I've already picked out the ones to get... I'm getting Tein Flex type coilovers
the reason is not only are they the top of the line tein coilovers but once you have them for an extra $350 you can get a set of servos and a control unit to adjust them from inside your car at the touch of a button. it's seriously the coolest suspension setup (for performance) I can think of. I think it's called EDFC (electronic damping force controler) or something like that. it shouldn't bee to hard to find. and those Tein flex type I've seen going for about $1600 just about everywhere ($1500 if you can find an ebay deal or haggle someone down)
if you're not into the EDFC thing I'd go with the HKS coilover set... I've heard nothing but good things about it.
oh one last thing... that black ArtInMotion WRX has that tein setup. I'm sure you've seen it.

if yur looking for adjustability and lotsa shock settings and good ride quality, not the usual rough coilover ride u get i'd say go for LEDA from scoobysport or their usa counterpart rallyperformance. its like $1800 and is gona take a little while to save but i seriously think its worth it with this coilover setup. goodluck finding sumthin u like dude.

I have looked at the leda system a little while ago, and it sounds nice, but do you or any one else know exactly what kind of adjustments you can do, like ridehight and how many daming settings there are. Do you know if leda has their own web site because i would like more info in it than provided in both the scoobysport and rallyperformance site.
thanks in advance for any more help.

actually, the prodrive gc06's are forged too and i bet are lighter than the enkei's. the q7's are only 15 pounds if i remember correctly so i think the 18's shouldn't be even be 3 pounds more. anyway, i'm trying to find a good place for the rims. best i found online was 215 each 18 inch.

Sorry i was thinking of the wrong prodrive wheels then. I would try to call the place and see if the can do any better on the price if you buy the tires and wheels at the same time, from my experience most places will give you a break on price.
