alright, here is the deal dudes. i am getting wheels for my impreza (maybe). the question is, which set? i am FOR SURE getting wheels in black or gunmetal (dark) and FOR SURE getting 18s or 19s. now here is the questions...(question one is going to go off topic)
EDIT:
go to page 3 for new choices.

18"

i DO like the volks more, but they are soon to be discontinued. however, rota makes another set called 'grid' and they are a nearly identicle wheel.
02-01-2010
my first choice would be stay stock til u get the STI
second choice is get the second set with 19s

out of the two i like the volks better and if you're not lowering that car then go with 19"s. I'd vote a gunmetal color would look better on a tan car, without a red lip.

Guess im the only one so far that likes the rota's in a 19 but Id hold off and get the sti
02-01-2010
I would stay stock. I think either one of those wheels will look out of place on that car but it's your $$$
02-01-2010
on second thought, i agree with gpgt and matt. wait for sti. get it in grey and go with the black volk 19"s
02-01-2010
Don't get any, leave your **** alone, and don't waist the money.
But then again, I really don't care.
02-01-2010
there is an off chance that i would get an 04 STI, which still has the 5x100 bolt pattern. keep that in mind.
02-01-2010
Aren't the STI wheels nice stock anyway?
02-01-2010
The rota's are nicer to me. Get them in 19". It should look pretty nice. But a six spoke would be tight too. Idk man it's a tough decision!
02-01-2010
Volks. 6 spoke rims look helluva better on these subbies. imho stay stock and wait for your WRX/STI. then strap on some bbs ar run amok!
volks are sick... http://lh3.ggpht.com/_NRSDCBt4i-U/Sd...7116b3be_b.jpg
edit: they even look great on the hatch... http://verdugo.smugmug.com/photos/486278590_jmHK9-O.jpg

im not diggin on either one of them, dont like fat spokes. but i would hold off til u know exactly what kinda subbie your getting. resale value on used rims/tires sucks bawls.

buying a set now with the red accent could face you with a tuff decision when looking to buy your STI what could be in a color that would not go well with the red lip... i say wait

that depends. Volks keep their price, rotas fall like crazy cuz they are replicas.
02-01-2010
yes, they are nice. i would be using them for winter wheels though because im a bastard and like to destroy expensive BBS wheels.
no plans on getting either of them with a red stripe, but those are the pictures i could find the quickest.
this is true. people selling their volks used on NASIOC still go for a good price.
02-01-2010
in that case... go for it!!! id say get the 6 spokes
