Me too because even though gold looks great with WRB, I think it's a little too common.  Those rims look awesome.  How much were they and what rubber is on them?

P.S. You now have me rethinking my planned rota torques.

They retail for 750 at wheeldude.com, I bought them for 500 off of yakker on these forums. Tires are bridgestone potenza RE760 Sport, I got them for 600 mounted in balanced through a friend.

Very nice indeed! How much are you lowered by?

Running cobb springs, I belive its 2" in the front and 1 1/2" in the back, I could be mistaked though.

Looks good Jay

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.

As everyone else has said, looks great! I never understood why Rota stopped offering those wheels.

oh i forgot to mention the tires are 235/40/18's. I was going to go with a 225 but I am glad I did not. Altough I had wished I picked a different tire...I knew the bridgestones were a good tire so when my buddy told me the price he could get them for I told him to go ahead...only later did I see on tire rack how heavy they are. Would have went with the hankook's. Oh well!
