I have a 2003 Rally Blue WRX sedan and I'm looking to purchase some new rims and tires. Probably will go with 17in or 18in rims - balance between performance and appearance. I'd like to get lighter weight rims if possible such as the SSR Competitions so not a great weight difference vs. stock setup. Gold/Bronze, Silver or Anthracite? Any suggestions for tires to go with the rims? Will I need to upgrade my springs also? Thanks.
Blue WRX Rim and Tire Suggestions?

If price isn't a concern then yes, the SSR Comps are great. Pair them with a set of Falken Azenis and you will have a nice combo IMHO. Personally, I like the bronze colored rims, especially on Rally Blue WRX's. If the SSR's are too pricey for you (or others reading this post) look into Rota Tarmacs. They are a bit heavier than the SSR's but lighter than most other rims out there (15lbs for a 17" I believe). I wouldn't go bigger than 17" for my vehicle, but for you, get whatever you like most.
Do not get the Azenis if you have lots of snow or rain in your area.
