Unhappy finding rims for STI HELP!!!

i'm looking for black wheel with a chrome lip for my Sti, but it seems almost every wheel has a problem fitting. It either hits the brake caliper, or it rubs against something in the rear!.

These are wheels that my friend were gonna trade me, but i guess they wouldn't fit.....is that true? in 18s by the way.

anyways if you know any nice looking rims that will fit my car please let me know because i'm having problems trying to find wheels

Those look heavy... Given its an STi, why rob it of power?

Look into ROTAs... go to Subydude.com, and go through their gallery, search by color and see what STi's are rocking... have fun!

Rota wheels are definately a good choice as they have quite a few wheels that clear the Brembos. BUT the only wheel they currently have that clears the brakes AND has a polished lip is the Slipstream. If the polished lip isn't that big of a concern though, other wheels like the Torque, Boost, Formula Mesh, and SDR clear the brakes.

Check out www.jlbmotorsports.com if interested. Great guys there.
