Haha I'd just buy a V8 for that Brad

But for now I'm very happy with the turbo

Oh and I got some new shoes for her. Both the front lip and exhaust scrape going in and out of the driveway because of the smaller wheels (empty tank and I have to make all passengers walk up)

If you think they look bad, wait until I finish painting them one of these colours

Are these for the track day Dan?

Does need bigger tires correct?

I really like the design of those sti rims.... Shame they aren't 1-2 inches bigger!!! I never seem to have that issue!! Haha

Are they 'track' wheels??

nice wheels mate!
are they off a 03 WRX?

Haha not sure if they'll be track wheels or if the Enkeis will be track wheels... Basically just repairing and repainting these as practice, then I'll roll around on them until the tyres die, while I repair the Enkeis. Then I'll either buy new tyres for the Enkeis or new rims and tyres altogether.

They're off an 02 or 03 STi, they're forged wheels 17x7.5" definitely one of my favourites, if I had a GC8 or something that suits 17s better I'd have these for sure. Interestingly, these with tyres weigh more than the 18" Enkei's with tyres.... And the tyres are 215/45/17, if I put new tyres on these I'll go for something bigger but for now I might just take the front lip off.

+1. But tbh, the 17" just looks weird, I'm so used to seeing it with 18" on it.

I personally hate black wheels so it won't be that

You could have $4000 wheels or repainted stockies and they'll look the same from more than 5m away

They're already small enough so going for something that takes away from that. Wait til you see it in person Ben, small wheels and small tyres looks soooo weird!

Orange.

Dont see the point of having a second set of rims for track and painting them a boring, run of the mill color.

+1 But they will be street wheels for a few months... My track wheels WILL be bright green, the question is, will these become track wheels, or the Enkeis?

As daily rims the 17s look shit. It's an STI leave the enkeis on there.
