Those wheels are mean looking. Volks? I think I was looking at those on some web site somewhere, but its good to see them on the car,,,,There are some bad ass wheels coming out for my car, I can;t wait for spring :twisted:

sperry 2003-11-15 10:21 AM

Meh, those rims are too "chromey". If they have a flat gun metal or maybe polished aluminum finish then I'm on board.

MattR 2003-11-15 10:28 AM

Yeah, I'm not in to the polished lip...I 'm alomost 90% sure I'm going Gram Light anyway. :twisted:

Hey JC, thanks for the wheel pics, if you come across ANY wheel pics on an STI , post them up, or at least a link, I'm trying to organize pictures of wheel options for my car for when I buy new rims in the spring. There are some sweet options surfacing now, all I need is to see the pictures.

JC 2003-11-18 02:42 PM

Gramlights?

It's not the polished lip I don't like on those, it's the black chrome... they'd look much better if the spokes weren't so shinny.

They aren't black chrome. They don't look so bling in person.

MattR 2003-12-06 12:11 PM

I like the P7's a lot, they are very refined (My new favorite word c/o Saab)...

I actually really like the way that STI looks...

Damn Mitsu drivers, wouldn;t know a good looking wheel if it was thrown thru your windshield. :lol: J/K Sergio.

Serg, you really don;t like those? I think their nice.

ArthurS 2003-12-06 12:24 PM

Can you not get the other '04 STi rims? Those would look siiiiick:

Those are the EDM wheels I think, and they are$$$, but yes, they look cool.

You like these ones Matt? Come on the Advan TCII are only 600 a piece go for it.

Is 47 a high enough offset?

Did you see GRUPPE-S Is starting a STi wheels section! 8)

Hey Matt, those EDM wheels are by far the best wheels subaru has come out with .. ofcourse shy of the BBS on your STi ;)
I like mine but I think they could have gone with a nice Mesh style BBS (Like the RSII) I was thinking of getting mine podwer coated either WHITE or GOLD or maybe BLACK .. I think it would look awesome :)

Those aren't just EDM wheels, I believe all STi's except the US version come with those, as well as all non-US/Canada WRX's. For the US STis they decided to toss the BBS on 'em, and of course the US/Canada WRX's get the 16" versions. To be honest, the WRX really could use the 17's stock...

BOO 2003-12-06 06:18 PM

Hmmm.... Then I think we should have been able to pick wheels with either the WRX or the STi ..and Yes, I think you are right Scott the WRX should have had 17's right fdrom the get go because it is a nice addition to a sports car + Performance #'s would have (maybe) looked better :)

Yeah, i saw that one, absolutely awesome.


BTW, what do you think of gunmettalic Rota's?http://www.subydude.com/gallery/ul/i...allery/113.jpg Or should I go bronze or steel grey?

sperry 2004-01-05 07:30 PM

Hey, Gunmetal's pretty sick looking, plus they won't show the brake dust as much.

Can you get the SDRs in gunmetal? Id' say go with bronze or gunmetal, whichever's cheaper. The silver's would be my last choice since silver on silver doesn't have as much contrast, oh and silver isn't strong enough to hold up to curbs. :P
