PWAAAA HOT!!!!
if u dont mind me asking, where did you get you Rota's as im looking at getting wheels (rota in particular) and need contact....

thanks,
cal
get em in PI nghtkd, not too far from you. You def need to lower that car now. rims look like the ssr ones. sides a bit aggressive for the front and rear but Im sure itll look great with it lowered. I'll be selling my intrax springs soon if youre interested, its almost a 2" drop.

will you be selling your factory wheels? wanna trade for my springs?

yeh i would...but im in australia and really the courier fees would cost more than the wheels emself. Im abit buggered that i didnt go with bronze, guess the grass is always greener on the other side. Tho ill make the most of these rims and spice them up with either red or baby blue rays wheel nuts ! chaayehh. The rims are replica Advan RS.

Also what do you mean aggressive? like offset wise?

And to everyone thanks for the kinds comments

Yeh....is that a bad thing tho? Kinda wished i got bronze, but anyhoo gotta quit looking at the past. Going to go for this look biggrin.gif

they looking **** great haha, don't keep wishing you got bronze just think how much better they look than stock wheels.
those look amazing. so.... where did you get them and how much were they lol
bronze and white is an awesome combo...I did at one point have the white with gun-metals just like you but I switched to bronze. What I meant earlier is your side skirts are a bit too aggressive for the front and rear splitters which are conservative, but with it lowered would be awesome.

Looks great. Lots of subie guys roll on Rotas... just not too many with +35 offset. Mostly +42.



For all of you guys in the US, check out www.wheeldude.com - he's an official Rota vendor, and he's on NASIOC.com. Great guy.

^ yeh true, i was on nasioc gallery thread when i was deciding on these rims. Reason i went with gunmetal is that so many wrxs ere were g-force gunmetal and the white wrx with gunmetal rims looked really good. Then my decision was made

wow i must say. your car is just amazing. only bad thing about black rims is that they hard to see at night but that's just me.

looks good but i have to agree,bronze would look way better than those ones you have on, if you can afford Work wheels or the TE-37s those are some bad a$$ kicks for your ride, them tein coilovers with edfc and youll be set

You're going to have to get a new car to get THAT look... hahahaha.

Jk!

I really like how your car is coming along... I think it looks fantastic, the white body and black rollers is a wicked contrast. smile.gif
