Got the visors from this guy. ^^^

He's great to deal with. The only issue is that the postal service doesn't wanna accept anything longer than 150cm, and these are 170cm long. So you would have to find a courier and probably pay them extra for the oversized item shipping.

 

And thanks for the compliment.

So I bought a set of new (to me) shoes for winter.

Test fitting.

They were in a bit of a roughy shape...

So I decided to powder-coat them silver.

And of course had to get overlays for the centre caps.

My winter tires are practically brand new, so I decided to reuse them. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/16/eququ7u4.jpg

 

The centre caps are a special reflective black vinyl which "glows" silver under sunlight and headlights.

Here's a comparison...

The mail reason I changed my winter wheels is because I wanted to upgrade to a 7.5" wheel since my winter tires are 225mm wide.

Since I drive out of the city quite often, I acquired a full size spare. Universal bolt pattern just in case I have to loan it to one of my STi or newer gen Legacy friends. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/16/huqysyte.jpg

 

The tiny "donut" with a wimpy 135/80/16 tire just doesn't cut it.

Replaced it with a full size spare: 225/45/17

The tray didn't fit...

But I'm still able to lay down the cover flat and snug.

^^^ Lol! My gf asked me the same thing. It's just an empty box. I use pieces of cardboard at work, and shove them between the mirror housing and the mirror glass, because the truck and bus mirrors shake so much on the highway that you can't make out anything. The cardboard holds them in place.

 

And yes the WRX wheels are my summers.

 

17x8 245/40 for summer

17x7.5 225/45 for winter
