Been a long time coming these, various reasons but finally have my dream wheels, (well for the summer time atleast)

Nothing new on colour nor design, always thought this wheel looks awesome, braved it and went for white despite the 24/7 cleaning of them.
But a slight change in tyre size from the norm.....didn't fancy the stretched 225 on the 9.5", so opted for 245's.
Of coarse this means you cant run it mega low, but again that's not what I was after.
These required a ride height lift mostly to the rears, being the widetrack ArchEnermy couldn't roll the rears, but Phil still worked his magic on the fronts.







Once again Mags was the man for supply and fit, great guy, first time meeting him hope its not the last, and GBH Motorsport for the final set-up.

 

I do like the White against the blue body work, good choice , looks a very sorted motor, top job!

 

looks lovely mate

 

Great choice, good luck keeping them like that

 

Exactly what I want to do, white wheels FTW

Paul

 

Looks lovely mate!!

Harri.

 

What an awesome looking car, sits perfectly imo

 

Looks great - how come they couldnt roll the rears?

 

its because of the widetrack arch extensions, shame as I wanted wider wheels like this

 

As TT said above, the widetrack model although has a lip its not much. ArchEnermy said there less of a lip than what you'd get after rolling an 04 model.
Shame as even a slight pull would have help, but again a pull would have distorted the arch extension.

Was looking at it this yesterday wondering whether to cut what lip there is off, prob about 3mm worth?

Thanks for the comments thought guys.

 

Lovely Darren

 

we had fun

 

Stunning, unrelated to wheels but I'm liking the semi-debadged front grill.

 

Thanks all for nice comments.

Its a carbon aftermarket grille, prob why it looks different, just kept the small STI badge colour coded white.

 

They look amazing. Was considering the bronze but may have pushed me to the white now lol

 

look really good in white

 

looks absolutely brilliant mate.

 

Very nice mate, very similar look to my car

 

Cant go wrong with white and blue, love it.

 

Disagree on the grille, but the wheels look great

 

Stunning pal, I love it!

 

That looks awesome! Even at that height and wheel width you don't have any issues with rubbing?
I am hopefully going to pick up a wide arch at the weekend and was thinking of the same wheels, but yours looks low enough for me, there is no need to go lower as these cars are performance not looks...
Does that mean that with the hawk eyes you would have the same problem too?

 

sweet.

 

As per pics no rubbing..........until one big dip,round a corner at 60mph, then it rubbed.
So weekend I ground away what little lip there was on the rear arches, it was a good 5mm of material to be removed....touch wood this has worked, same bump no probs.

I would say the hawk is exactly the same as 05 blob, as its the same rear end wide track......providing its an sti?

 

Looks lovely that! What is the lip on the spoiler?

 

Its from a BMW E46.

 

Very nice buddy..

 

Edit: I see it's glued on, any close up pics of the spoiler?

 

Looking good Darren

Yes it came pre-prepped with double side tape, simply peel off and stick on.
