Beautiful setup- what are the specs on the Wrx rims? Been thinking about purchasing a set as my winter wheels but can’t seem to find them in 18 x 7.5 5x114.3!

Thanks man. Both sets of STI wheels are 18 x 8.5 with a 55mm offset I believe

What springs are you sitting on?

Just dropped the pig

Where did you get that grill and lip?

Weefong, the grill is a JDM grill, was lucky enough to source one locally. The lip is a JDM knockoff I found. Fit isn't perfect, but it does the job.

If you check the first page of this post, there is one listed. I believe Takeda makes it, you just have to get the one for the 5th gen I believe.

Been getting used to driving a lower profile and wider tire you can definitely feel the difference. They are a bit noisy, but I expected it with lower harder side walls and more rubber meeting the road. Driving at lower speeds it is normal, but it is when you get up to speed that you really notice the difference. It leaves me wanting a better suspension now. I have been noticing tho in the morning for the first half-mile or so the ride is a little bumpy but then it smooths out and it's fine onward. First I thought I might have a bent rim. Then I thought maybe it was the road by my house because the town did some construction recently but I suspect the tire might be flat spotting a little when I leave the car parked over night which seems unusual but I can't think of anything else.

If you are feeling a bit of the wobbles from new rims it could be a number of things that are cheap fixes. You may need some hub centric rings. They are like $10-$20 and will help with that bumpy feeling as it will help the rim center itself on the hub like your factory wheels did. It could also be tire pressure or wheel balancing causing this issue as well. If you had a bent rim or a flat spot on the tire you'd feel it at just about any speed.

Beware! If you're going to transport your old wheels in your car, the significant weight increase in the wheels can cause severe damage to your fenders. My tires started rubbing and my fenders could've been destroyed. The 20s will fit but PLEASE be aware of this. I found out that rolling your fenders is not that expensive so doing that if you go big is definitely worth it especially if you're going to be transporting serious weight in your car i.e passengers and heavy cargo. By the grace of God im so thankful i caught this before it was too late, and i wouldve been in serious danger. Let me know what you guys think of the wheels. I did see black and chrome ones but they disappeared into the car and yes did give a more aggressive look. I decided on these for more of a contrast look.

Got any more shots of these, like from the side of the car and the back of the car? I'm working on picking up a set with the same wheel specs and want to see what I'm in for.
