For those that want 15 inch wheels, the rally wheels designed for Subarus should fit over the red 4 pot brakes. Enkei, Method, Team Dynamics, Braid, Compomotive, Speedline, etc. Check first, but most will work. Also you'll look like a total badass. I have very little need to do this but I still might if I switch to the 4 pots.

As mentioned the bugeye 16x6.5 wheels work really well. The older 16x7 2.5RS (aka JDM STI GC8) wheels will fit. Those might be hard to find at this point though. There are plenty of aftermarket 16 inch wheels that clear too.

OEM 17s make a lot of sense, but goodness they are ugly. Previous gen WRX wheels work fine and can be found cheap.



I need to get some winter tires and I'm looking for recommendations. We get a couple days of snow around here each year, but on those days I just don't go to work. So no need to jump snow drifts, but it's often cold and wet (sometimes icy) enough that an all season would be a bad idea and a waste considering that I have summers. Any ideas?

Winter wheels!



Tbh, with how cheap they are, just get the arctics. They last so long, and are so good when it gets heavy you can really have a riot. Run the pressure a bit high and you can combat the soft sidewalls they are known for.

Most of the other tires I like are 30%ish more expensive, and don't seem to last as long. They may be a better 'non-snowing winter tire', but I think the arctic makes up for it when it is bad, at least in my neck of the woods.
