Really needs to be lowered for full effect. Makes a huge difference to the look. Go on, you know you want to :D

What tyres did you get?

Does look good! Much better on your car than on mine, suits the colour perfectly.

What size tyre did you settle on?

I ended up fitting Kumho KU31 215/40/R18 on the rims.

It has really up-dated the car and look more than an inch bigger than the stockies.

Have you sold the old ones yet?

It definately has updated the car. Love the look!!
Still got the stockies in the box. You interested M?, not satisfied with the Sti rims and perhaps want to "upgrade" to a set of 4 lovely GT 17" wheels? :lol: hehe

What if you market them as 'winter' rims to our eastern state members, especially the regular skiers?
They could fit them up with suitable tyres and leave their precious 'summer' rims at home safe from corrosion and chain damage.

Thats a good idea. Might have to try that later.
