Default My Blobeye WRX - opinions please!!

Just a few really quick pics of my 53plate silver blobeye WRX. I've just fitted the wheels and can't really decide whether i like them or not??
What are your opinions on the overall look?? Cheers guys

car looks spot on, nice stance and loving the flaps and the spotlights to give it a slightly aggresive stance, not loving the wheels I'm afraid as you asked, I reckon they suit rally slag wheels better then blingy ones, but If your happy with them thats all that matters

I must admit i was a little unsure about putting them on myself but i reckon they improve the look so much. Maybe i should take the stickers off??

Liking the wheels and the car, but not sure about both together, as said maybe lowing will bring it all together as I think its the gap in the arch that is ruining the lines for me, the wheels ARE nice though, and its good to be different.

Also loose the STI badges and front will look spot on.

Don't worry about the STi logos. After all, Subaru build brand new WRX models with STi parts and leave the logos intact.
Nice looking car, I had an 04 WRX myself.

nodinny, the splitter is from HTautos, cost about £130 and fits the original bumper holes so is a great fit!

I'm with beefy, my first impression was that the wheels looked a bit small. Since you can't exactly change this, got for the next best thing - lower the car a few cm. Looking sweet though.

I think to pull those wheels off you need to be running a lot lower. Nice clean looking blob though

The Inovit wheels will look nice.

Did I notice the rear wing a slightly different colour to the rear door on the first pic?

Awaits a slap. . .
