17x8 +42 fronts, 17x9 +35 Rears. Fronts weigh 15.6lb, rears at 16.5lb. Tires are Nitto 235/40/17 all the way around at 22.4lb each. Including balancing and TPMS sensors, fronts are about 38.5 and rears are about 39.5. LESS THAN STOCK. Overall rolling diameter also slightly smaller than stock.

Looks: you can see the slight difference in concavity front to rear. I'm happy with color as well. Really like how it goes with the subaru blue. I'm not planning on lowering it any time soon, and the ride is BETTER than stock, with decreased understeer from what i can tell so far.

Fitment: Fronts are perfect on stock suspension. Rears poke a little, suprisingly. Might need to play with camber a bit.

Sorry for crappy cell phone pics

Only downside is not being able to rotate the tires, but these are so cheap and will wear so fast, I don't see it as a major issue.

Thanks for the pictures. Looks good!

My square setup's in the basement...now that I see them on WRB I will more heavily consider powdercoating them gold.

Wonderful setup! Makes me wish I stuck with the BRZed

Are these the gunmetal special editions? I've been wondering how these fit relative to the fenders and look against WRB. Thanks for posting detailed pics.

I believe the staggered 18" wheels are the only ones available in Gun Metal Special Edition.

Totally overlooked the OP said 17s. :bonk:

Nice! I've got the same set up, but with 245/40's in the rear. I'll mount them and put up pics this weekend if the weather cooperates.

The picture quality and lighting is so bad I can understand why people might mistake them for gunmetal. They are the standard platinum color which is somewhere between silver and gunmetal. They look a lot LIGHTER in real life than my poopy photos show. I'll try to take better lit photos in the future.

I hope my suspension settles just a little though

Lookin good :thumbup:

I like the concavity at the rear, but I will stick with my 18x8 square setup.

just86 01-04-2013 11:55 AM

should have gone with square setup, looks better with 17x9 in the front

Here's one with better lighting

thatWESguy 01-04-2013 05:49 PM

with this setup, I would suggest doing at least a 1" drop

Captain Insano 01-04-2013 06:11 PM

Thanks for pics OP. I am thinking about doing these on my WRB BRZ.
