Nothing wrong with RT5s they were fantastic wheels just wanted to change things up was all. New owner has em on a BRZ also whiteout and they look good.

Mmm that really depends. I am very happy with it, but I got it for less than $300USD off the forums here second hand (never installed or used) so I got a stellar deal. From what I understand the sub, amp and enclosure are quite expensive from OEM+ so that is something I would have to consider.

For the price I paid for it, I am beyond satisfied. The fit is great, the sound is good and it boosted my audio enough that I did not feel the need to go all out like I have in previous cars. I appreciate the minimal space it takes up and I was able to do the install myself which saved me even more money.

However, for the full price of the set-up, I am sure you could get a better sub, amp and potentially get a box made to fit just as well. Certainly something for you to consider.

Zero issues for my set-up. 8.5's in the front were key for me, as all I have are springs. 1" drop gives me the right amount of clearance and natural camber for front and rear and it looks great. Does not rub or touch under any circumstances (have not pushed it to the extreme, nothing like a super fast turn or anything...I do not see it rubbing then, but if I hit a corner and was locked, and hit a bump..who knows?)
