Wheels looks great btw, very much what I'm after

creepy timing! Just came home from work and decided to snap a few pics on the parking garage!

I just installed the BC coilovers over the weekend dropped it about 2". I might raise it up a little. No rubbing at all it, tucks in with a bit of room to spare.

Those wheels really suit the car, and the fitment after lowering is sublime!

Nice! I have similar wheels on mine except I'm pretty sure mine are 7.5" wide.

xwd · 07-20-2014, 12:37 PM

Hah I had the same color combo SSR Comps from Tirerack way back in like 2005 for my WRX. I'm now using the Velox PG5-S in 17x7 which looks really similar, same gunmetal/machined lip finish.

These are actually the version that Tire Rack sold and they had sizes that were exclusive to them and not offered by SSR. The tire rack versions are the anthracite with machined lip.

Bought these from a forum member. With slightly used Michelin PSS 225/45-17, they weigh 5.5lbs less per corner than OEM wheel/tire set with nearly bald tires.
