I think they look pretty shitty, or would look so on an LGT.

Also, 215's?  that's a pretty pussy tire width.

Couldn't agree more. 18's for the sake of 18's is a waste.

Quote me now while I'm feeling good about it.  I've decided a WRX will be the vehicle that replaces the Jeep.  I can't see paying Evo prices or justifying purchasing a halfassed/beat to death example for the same asinine amount of money.  For an affordable, point to point, all-weather capable performance car, a wagon fits the bill.  A swapped wagon, even better.

save up and get a nice set of proper sized wheels, i think 17''s would look perfectly good on there. Im sure i sound like every other troll on the big forums saying this, but your adding weight for no added benefit other than looks...and to me theyre not great looking wheels...i know color, design, shape, size are all subjective...

That's not really going to fit so great in the LGT's fairly narrow fenders.   :angel:

That lgt has extensive fender work, i know him from the lgt.com forum. Cool dude with a shit-ton of wheels (he is now running works emotions cr-kai's 18-9's if i remember correctly).  The drop is done with coils I believe bc racing with lateral links in the back.  The tire is very stretched as well so curbs, deep pot holes and random ruts in the road would have to be avoided like rabid adult honey badgers in heat.

Don't get me wrong I absolutely love that look and bbs-lm's (i know they are replicas) are prob my all time dream wheel but just letting you know the work you will have to do to get those to work.
