I am seriously looking at the UK OEM rims too. I prefer the silver however. The main attraction with these rims to me, is it being OEM and looks exactly like the stock rims, just that they are 17s.

I really want to add the 215/45R17 tires recommended by Subaru but un-fortunately the 215s do not have the same load rating as the stock 205/55R16 and is a bit smaller in diameter and hence would be adding "phantom miles" to the odometer.

The 225/45R17s maintain the diameter very closely and also maintain the load rating of the 205s perfectly but why does Subaru recommend the 215s then ?

Later...AH
