ChaoticZen Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Wow... That's more awesome than I imagined.... Anyone knows if the new bumper is a direct replacement or not? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orndog Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Ah, fair point... didn't see you had a 2013... you might have to pioneer that exploration! I bet there's dimension listed somewhere... maybe in the vacation pics? IDK... Yeah, I got the pix a while back, but haven't looked yet. The problem is once I figure out the specifics then I'll want it even more and will buy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higuma Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 One last thing - does anyone have an opinion or experience regarding a silver wheel vs a cut-finish face black accent wheel... with respect to a SWP painted car... This wheel is available in Spark Silver or RVC/DC ( diamond cut ) in Japan and although the real shiny finish of the RBC/DC appeals my personal opinion falls to the Spark Silver for use with Satin White Pearl... Seems like the cut finish face would suit a dark finish car better...

Cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hey, nice choice in wheels. I prefer the Gloss Black/Diamond Cut Face on the Satin White Pearl. That is likely what I will go with but not sure if I want a 5-spoke or the mesh style like you have picked. Just my opinion, and can't wait to see your pics.

GTEASER Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 They look like the Rays Homura 2x7 which only come in 19x8 +48 in 5x100 bolt pattern. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higuma Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 On the esthetic side of things - - I am not sure that the shiny wheel suits the pearl paint and maybe a little too "look at me" - - I guess a sort of balance thing - I always get a kick out of those guys that have the huge sparkly wheels that immediately draw your attention away from the vehicle itself... Seems that the silver is more of a balance... If my LTW was black or blue pearl I wouldn't even be asking the question.... On the practical side of things - - The reasoning for me leaning towards going to the Spark Silver was that ~ with the diamond cut if you get any road rash you cannot touch them up - unlike silver which you could for minor damages at least... Sound reasoning ? ? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gienek Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Sounds logical to me, I would also go with the Spark Silver for the same reasons. And great choice on wheels, they will look great on any SWP vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higuma Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Convinced myself over lunch with my social director who was remarkably supportive... So, trigger has been pulled 19x8 +48 Homura in SS ( sparkle silver )... I didn't really need tires as I have a good set of used BS Potenza 001's hanging around from my previous ride BUT they had a deal that offered a set of Kumho SPT KU31's for just 25,000円 more or 250usd ( way too cheap to pass up )... The Kumho's enjoy a mediocre rating in online customer reviews but seem to do well in the wet which is a plus... Size was limited to only 225/40-19 so they will be set aside for sale or a rainy day etc., If anyone has any experience with the Kumho's please comment or send me a PM... Thanks for the input from the commenters above - looking forward to snow pissing off soon so that I can get the tires and dampers on... It is really hard to believe that I have had a total of 25kms running on summer tires only because I refused delivery in November unless I could do a quick shake-down on the factory wheels and summer tires... Should look nice with these wheels and a - 45mm frt - 47mm rear drop which is the Blitz recommended settings for their ZZR dampers on the BRG Legacy Wagon... It's nice that they publish a set-up page for each model of car they sell for that lists recommended pre-load, static spring heights, damper settings and shock lengths to achieve their best "road course & street" tests - along with letting you know what sort of drop you will get with those settings...

faded-a-fool Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Congrats. I think i'm going to stick with 18's. The jump in price for 19" tires is ridiculous. The Miro 111's sort of look like the Homura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higuma Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Wheels arrived today - nice.. Their arrival coincided with a strong Blizzard here in Hokkaido so for now all I can do is stare... Once again.... Ray's Homura 2x7 19x8 +48 & Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31 225/40ZR19 The stock center caps are nice but I have other ideas and think that they will look quite awesome with the STi Center cap decals I got purchased a few months ago... Think these babys are going to look fine.... Stock centers... My choice... Full look... Spoke profile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
