No drop as of yet, Tein H Tech's on UPS at the moment.

looks nice but you could've totally gone with the 9" and get the concave awesomeness! :thumbsup:
I had the exact same wheels on my 06 wrx but in ROYAL gold.
you'll need to take good care because they are really easy to bend.

Front needs more drop than rear.

I'm really a fan of wheels with lips on this car. So I don't have much more feedback for you on these wheels.

Fitment looks good. A drop would make it look less off-roady.

Pictures do look it needs a drop a lot more than in person, kinda strange. These weren't my first choice really but the TSW Interlagos doesn't come in gold and I have always wanted gold on white. I'm sure these won't be the last set of wheels on my car but they will work for now.

Drop is definitely going on after looking at it again, no doubt about it.

Driving impressions: I wanted Continental DW's but these were $200 cheaper for the set and I'm pretty happy with them, they are very quiet and ride really nicely i'm glad I didn't go with the 19's I was looking at. Performance didn't suffer as much as I would have expected since they are a little heavier and taller than stock which changed the final drive ratio. Overall for $1300 for the set with hubrings and lugnuts I'm very pleased.

I think it looks great. Def post pics when its dropped. When you see these cars in person there so low and sleek looking.The wheel gap doesn't seem bad at all but in pics it looks waaaaay worst then it actually is.

I agree... the gap is only an issue in pictures, honestly. If you want to "compete" for best setup on the internet, yeah drop it. If you just want it to look good irl, a drop isn't the #1 priority.

I personally like it the way it is.
