Well it may not be a real STi, but it's got an STi lip and STi rims. Also seems to have TEIN on it so I'm guessing it's lowered with TEIN coilovers. What do you all think?

All my previous opinions of the 2010 are now gone, I think it looks the goods.

I like it, but i still reckon the car's too big for dem wheels. The new lib needs like 22s to look proportional

Wheels too small in every dimension
.....how did you find out it has Teins?
And where the hell are the brakes?

Well if you look at the front number plate, it's sporting the TEIN logo thing. So i guess it's safe to assume it's a Tein test car or at least a car with TEIN products

.....ahhhh gotcha now,

I thought you meant the JDM STi tuned Liberty was equipped with Teins from the factory which I thought would be strange.

Yeah 18's look so tiny on the MY10s......would love to get mine delivered with 19's or 20's but I have no idea what's out there or what will suit???
Surely new MY10 18's with fresh tyres will be worth a good $$$ to someone!

From that angle, from the front door back it screams nissan maxima :bad: And yeah, its like the VE commodores, they need at least 20s to nicely fill in the guards. I mean, 18s dont even quite fill GEN4s arches enough IMO! And I still find those headlights horrible! No matter how they are modded or photoshopped, i have not seen a GEN5 that iv liked so far :?

Definitely the wheels let it down. But otherwise, it has potential :)

+1...... i think the wheels would look better if they had thicker spokes, the car has too much metal work which flat, you need a wheel which looks beefy....... like the current model sti spec r wheels

I hate to say it, but if you go a cheap brand like Lenso or similar in 20s, you quite likely will notice a drop in your acceleration. Cheap/heavy 20's would easily be 12-13+ kg each plus tyres and this will kill any nice feeling of acceleration the car has now simply due to the rotating mass. Jap manufacturers dont make 20s for a good reason - they are shit for performance.

I'd suggest spending the extra $$ on forged wheels by Work or Advan - costly yes, BUT you will kick yourself for buying cheap 20s

Work Rezax in similar style to what you posted
