My new wheels
 

Not to everyone's taste without a doubt (the haters will hate) but I like them and I like to be different :freak3:

Wants dropping a bit, but otherwise I quite like it, different to the usual wheels you see.

Thank you - Yes she's riding a bit high but as the photos were taken not long after fitting and the car had been on axle stands for a week it's possible that the suspension has not settled yet - will go for a drive soon and see if it settles down a bit.

I'm reluctant to change the suspension as I need fairly decent clearance to do my job which often involves 4 adults in the car as well - not too mention paying good money for a new suspension to replace one that currently works fine.

oops clicked too quickly - double post

As above, brave to go different but looks really nice :)

Looks good, i live those plates on it, do you have any trouble with plod with them?

Thank you and no - I live in France near Le Mans and get away with things like that - I'm also quite well known by my local Gendarmes and don't abuse the system (I don't speed through the radar cameras, etc.) and even helped get a drunk driver off the road the other week, awesome stuff to have a 3 motorcycle police riders escorting me in my Scooby at speed on our way to stop the drunken fool :luxhello:

Lucky lucky man

Like that!! :thumb:

Like the look, nice to see something different beyond the obvious choices these days.

They look quite good - personally I'd have dropped it a little and possibly gone for a higher profile tyre too to fill the arches but this isn't my car:norty:

I've been trying to compare the height in my photos to those of a standard WRX and those of when I bought mine - don't think there's too much difference so I guess I'll have to keep the "Monster Truck" look as it probably won't settle too much more - doesn't bother me to be honest.

For anyone interested here's some before and after photos. All cosmetic (spoiler, splitter, rear lights, wheels, mud flaps, plates and a decent clean....roof spoiler to come), happy with the engine as it is. I'm not trying to pretend it's a STi - if I wanted an STi I would've bought one, I just wanted to improve the look of my WRX - in my humble opinion of course.

I have a 03 blob wrx with 225/40/18 tyres was lowered approx 25mm when i bought it even when fully loaded ive had no probs at all with any catching i'd put some photos on but don't know how to

It's not the catching that worries me it's the ground clearance - I'm an estate agent in France and quite often I have to go down dirt tracks to access water mills and farms etc. and with the passage of other cars the centre section is often very raised. If I lower it then I'm running the risk of it grounding (already have this problem with another car that's lowered).

Also to be honest I don't really want to pay to replace the suspension when the original one works fine - the wheel gap really doesn't bother me.

The Impreza is supposed to be a rally car, at least I thought it was :wonder:

As long as you are happy with them, that's the main thing.

dont suit the car at all, id say they are the worst wheels ive seen on an impreza for a while then i spotted this

the originals looked far better

Thank Christ for that - I was really worried that you were going to say you like them .... Given your taste on anything that isn't standard or your car I can't say I'm not surprised - yet another TT comment on SNet slagging off someone else's point of view :luxhello:

i said they dont suit the car, but as your spoiling for a fight ill change that too they look utter sh1te like something you find in halfords and added to the comedy ride height make your car look awful.:thumb:

Is it a generic disorder you have or did you have to take lessons to be this obnoxious? Second thoughts given the lack of spelling and grammar I guess it's a generic disorder and I apologise for criticizing your handicap.

its ok, i have seen your wheels and you obviously have special needs.

have a nice day off roading or whatever you intend to do with it now.

:thumb:

I personally think it looks good mate. Different from the norm, which isn't always a good thing, but in this case I think it is.

And the award for worst comeback of the year goes to................(drum roll).................. YOU!!!! Lol!

Sorry but not my cup of tea really, but its your car at the end of the day, so as long as you happy with them then that's the main thing.

out of interest how many times have you been pulled over for the Black/silver number plate?


MOT fail :(
