Yes, I found a brand new set of bronze Rota Actions on eBay a few months back. Too good a deal to pass up at $300 shipped for the set. Then a week later I found a great deal on a set of 225/45/17 Sumitomo HTRZ3 tires with less than 1000 miles on them. Ended up costing about $500 for the whole setup, mounted and balanced! I've been waiting all winter to put them on!

Sick deal. Should I be considering those tires?

If you don't need an all season, I think they are the best bang for the buck tire around right now. In Tire Rack testing they actually beat some pretty high dollar name brand tires.

Function > Form = Wing
Form > Function = No Wing

It could also be that Form is your Function
then you get Form = Function , Function = Wing * (EyeOfBeholder) which is either 1 or -1 :P

I've heard you can gain 2 mpg by taking off your wing. but that probably assumes a lot of highway driving. if you Rarely drive on the highway you won't see much gas savings. so its more of a how do you want it to look question.

Function > Form applies to me..........not getting eyed by every Honda and vehicle with a lightbar and a ticket book saves me time and money ;)

wingless is best.. plain and simple

GusGus91 2009-04-14 10:38 PM

I vote wingless as well.

Depends on the color and style for me.
I'm a sucker for the STi wing but I love wingless STi's too.
With WRB, it could go either. Looks good all ways.
I like black and white wingless or STi wing'd. Red and pussy wagon yellow, definitely wingless 100%.
WRX wing only looks flattering on a blue and maybe a white IMO.

I want an STi wing on my wagon. Juice, PS it on there.

Wingless fo sho! Every wingless car in this thread has just been skeeted on btw...

GusGus91 2009-04-16 05:22 PM

^Glad I haven't put my wingless trunk on yet... haha

I saw a wrb sti today with a wrx trunk. It actually looked really good.

Evo Mike 2009-04-16 10:28 PM

the wing adds 10hp.. ;)

nah, i mean it's more about what you want, and what you think looks good. forget what everyone else has to say.. if you like the riceyness of the wing.. go for it. IMO, both ways look just fine.
